广州近代沙面汇丰银行的营建考略

A Study of the Construction of the Modern HSBC Building in Shamian,Guangzhou

作为全国重点文物保护单位广州沙面建筑群的重要组成部分,汇丰银行旧址是广州近代银行业发展和中西方文化交融的实物载体,也是广州建筑现代转型的重要代表性建筑。基于文献、书信、照片等史料,通过对汇丰银行广州分行创建背景及建筑要素的分析,基本廓清该行的营建脉络,聚焦于西方建筑师主持设计下的新楼的规划布局与形式特征,剖析西方设计经验在地方营造条件下的调适机制。随着历史与社会的变迁,汇丰银行旧址完成了由金融建筑到酒店建筑的蜕变,挖掘营建历史为进一步甄别层积信息、重现空间原貌奠定基础,以提出合理有效的保护与利用方案。

As an important part of the national key cultural relics protection unit Guangzhou Shamian architectural complex,the former site of HSBC is the physical carrier of Guangzhou's modern banking development and the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures,as well as an important representative building of Guangzhou's architectural modern transformation.Based on historical materials such as documents,letters and photographs,we analyse the background of the founding of the HSBC Guangzhou Branch and its architectural elements,basically clarifying the construction of the bank,focusing on the planning layout and formal characteristics of the new building designed under the auspices of Western architects,and analysing the adaptation mechanism of the Western design experience under the conditions of local construction.With the change of history and society,the former site of HSBC has completed the metamorphosis from a financial building to a hotel building,and the excavation of the construction history lays the foundation for further screening of the layered information and reproducing the original appearance of the space,so as to put forward reasonable and effective preservation and utilisation plans.
