茨林围的保育 澳门的圣保罗教堂,城中村与田园肌理

Sustaining Patio do Espinho St.Paul Church,Urban Village and Landscape Fabric in Macao

圣保罗学院仅存的教堂立面,是澳门最具历史意义的古迹。20世纪初涌入澳门的难民,沿着教堂后院城墙兴建住屋,形成茨林围这一片肌理丰富的违章社区,在高密度的城市中保持了独特的田园肌理。不同于主流话语中的宏伟教堂或广场,茨林围保存的是边缘社群的日常生活轨迹和一种活的建筑文化延续,是澳门旅游业在东西融合的主流话语背景下,不可缺少的庶民物质文化财富。规划所强调的循序渐进与人本尊重,更是在后殖民时代建立身份认同的澳门步入公民社会中不可缺少的进程。

The remaining facade of St.Paul Cathedral is the most important historic heritage in Macao.In early 20th century,refugees poured into Macao,and built houses along the city wall at the back of the cathedral;and Chi Lam Wai,an unauthorized communal urban village rich in urban fabric and unique in landscape in this high-density city was formed.Different from the splendid cathedrals or plazas in the city＇s mainstream narrative,the preservation of Chi Lam Wai is a continuity of the daily life of a marginalized community,also of a vivid architectural culture.It is the physical culture of the common people,which plays an indispensable role in Macao＇s tourism as part of the city＇s identity as a place of East-West fusion.The proper development sequence and the humanistic respect emphasized in our present plan is also part of a necessary process for a civil society,working to establish the identity of Macao of its postcolonial times.
