入選建築(31):香港醫學博物館(前細菌學檢驗所)
香港醫學博物館 (前細菌學檢驗所)的故事:
1894年上環太平山區爆發鼠疫,英國派遣專家來港於1906年成立細菌檢驗所,其三層高建築,採用紅磚對比髹白古典式立柱、花巧攔杆配彩陶地磚、融合中式圖案窗花和隱喻實驗室樽的山牆裝飾,表達出當時流行的優美愛德華式風格。1996年,一群醫生將這建築闢作醫學博物館,介紹香港醫學及細菌病理研究的歷程,不單是香港非營利機構營運及開放政府歷史建築物的先鋒,而且在需要提高市民防疫知識的當下,為香港建築寫下不朽的名句。
Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, Old Pathological Institute
Year: 1906
Subsequent to Tai Ping Shan’s plague outbreak in Sheung Wan in 1894, experts were dispatched by the British Goverenment to Hong Kong in 1906 to establish a bacteriological laboratory. The three-storey architecture design applied contrasting red bricks and white classical columns. Integrating decorative railings with colourful ceramic floor tiles, as well as Chinese window grilles with gable resembling laboratory flasks, the structure fully displays the essence of Edwardian architectural style, which was popular at the time. In 1996, a group of doctors transferred the site into a museum of medical sciences, to introduce the study of medicine and bacteriology in Hong Kong. It is not only the pioneer of local non-profit organisations as well as government-owned historic building that welcomes public access, but also the figurehead of medical sciences development of the city.
