未來主義油麻地停車場 明年拆卸 Futuristic Yaumatei Carpark to be Demolished Next Year

油麻地停車場大廈位於上海街250號,早於1957年啟用,因中間樓層被加士居道行車天橋貫穿而聞名,香港大學建築文物保護學部主任李浩然指,這設計很有未來主義的特色。

油麻地停車場大廈位於上海街250號,早於1957年啟用,是全港第一代公眾停車場之一。此停車場因中間樓層被加士居道行車天橋貫穿而聞名,是油麻地區地標。

香港大學建築文物保護課程學部主任李浩然指,這個設計很有未來主義的特色。未來城市的道路穿梭建築物、把交通網絡與建築設計整合為一體,這個設計是世界獨有。

因應中九龍幹線建造工程,政府將在今年11月起分期封閉停車場,並計劃於明年拆卸,意味着這個富未來感的都市奇觀,將會很快消失。

Yaumatei Carpark Building, a public multi-storey carpark located at 250 Shanghai Street, was opened in 1957 and is one of the first generation public carparks in Hong Kong. In 1977, the Gascoigne Road Flyover was built to bypass existing surface road and go through this building, making it famous and a landmark in the Yaumatei district.

Lee Ho-yin, head of Division of Architectural Conservation Programmes at the University of Hong Kong, pointed out that this design is very futuristic. The roads of the future cities pass through buildings and integrate the transportation network with the architectural design. This design is unique in the world.

In response to the construction of the Central Kowloon Trunk Route, the government will close the parking lot in stages starting from November this year and plan to demolish it next year. This means that this futuristic urban wonder will soon disappear.
