夏季凉亭位于香港岛热闹的住宅区北角，是首个建在公共码头上的临时建筑，由一家专门从事艺术装置和参与式社区设计的本地建筑工作室AaaM Architects设计。
Situated in a lively neighborhood of North Point on Hong Kong Island, the summer pavilion is first-of-its-kind temporary architecture built on a public pier, designed by AaaM Architects, a local architectural studio specialized in art installations and community engagements.
沿著维多利亚港的海岸线，香港设有 10 多个公共码头，连接各自的社区。与通常在特定时间段内作为运输节点运作的商业码头不同，香港的公共码头向公众开放，24 小时开放，一般不设置人员看守。基于上述研究发现，夏季凉亭设计寻求将码头空间转变为以社区为中心的公共场所的潜力，最终为整个海港的其他公共码头提供一个试点案例。

Along the coast line of Victoria Harbour, the city runs more than 10 public piers connecting to their respective community. Unlike commercial piers, which normally operate as a transport node within certain period of time, the public piers in Hong Kong are open to public with 24 hours access and guard-less. Based upon the above urban study, the summer pavilion design seeks the potential of transforming the pier space into a community-centric public realm, eventually set a pilot case for other public piers across the Harbour.

现有的码头是一个基本的实用混凝土基座，带有两个简单凉亭和短凳设施。夏季凉亭通过在凉亭上叠加金属结构，改善了额外的遮阳效果，新的几何形状外壳增强了下方的对流通风。随著条件的改善，当公众适应新的公共码头空间时，丰富的公共活动逐渐出现在码头上，例如钓鱼，休息，聚会，读书，拍照等等。
Existing pier is a steam-lined utilitarian concrete plinth with two bare-bone arbors and short benches. The summer pavilion, by super-imposing a metal structure to the arbor, improves additional shading and the new shelter geometry enhances cross ventilation underneath. With such improved condition, a rich layer of public activities gradually attached to the piers, fishing, resting, gathering, book-reading, photo-taking, and many more when the locals adapting the new public pier space.

与浅色码头的直线基础设施外观形成对比，夏季凉亭采用“对比”的曲线语言、明亮的调色和天然材料。设计以沙坑、盆栽绿植和沙滩椅为补充，营造休閒氛围，旨在抵消北角人口稠密的市区压力。描绘海滩的沙坑也让社区想起久违了的，在1930年代填海后消失的北角海滩和海滨生活方式。
In contrast to the rectilinear infrastructural outlook of the pale-colour pier, the summer pavilion takes a “contrasting” approach with curvilinear language, bright colour palette and natural materials. The design comes with sandpits, potted greeneries and beach chairs as a complimentary component to create a leisurable atmosphere, aiming at off-setting the pressure from the densely-populated urban district of North Point. The sandpit, depicting a beach, reminds the community about the long-gone North Point beach and waterfront lifestyle (which disappeared after reclamation in 1930s).

凉亭设计在每个立面上都有 4 个开口。从尖沙咀文化区，到狮子山的山脊线，再到前启德机场跑道，每条曲线轮廓都勾勒出一幅独特的风景如画的海港景色。凉亭的白色外观和蓝色内部给人一种从远处住宅区都能够清楚看见的接近水的标示。亮白的表皮也与海滨环境发生反应，在日落时它会变成金色，而在完美的晴天时，它会沿著弯曲的边缘刷上一抹蓝色。

The pavilion design comes with 4 opening on each elevation. Each curve-silhouetted frames a unique picturesque harbour view, from Tsim Sha Tsui Cultural District, then the ridgeline of Lion Rock Mountain, to the former Kai Tak Airport runway. The white exterior and blue interior of the pavilion outlook gives a hint of approaching to the water from the residential area a-far. Glossy-white skin also reacts with the waterfront environment where it will turn golden during sunset while with a brush of blue along its curving edge during a perfect sunny day.

看似简单的设计，不仅开启了公共码头的多项全新公共功能，更将都市生活的想像带入了北角社区。
With a seemingly simple design, it opens up not only multiple new public functions of the public pier, but ultimately bring imagination of urban life into the North Point neighborhood.
