Social Provenance: The Language of Public Buildings

A brutalist interior with the character of a public building. The scale and details of the space are derived from post-war public works: universities, libraries, city halls, and social housing; thus, it features durable yet unrefined hardware, flooring that can withstand heavy use, and standardized lighting fixtures and equipment. There are no luxurious materials or custom details. It is designed for utility and public use, not for display. Avoid: incorporating luxurious materials and custom craftsmanship, using delicate custom hardware, making the space feel like a comfortable private residence, adding decorative details.

一個帶有公共建築性格的粗獷主義室內。空間的尺度與細節來自戰後的公共工程:大學、圖書館、市政廳與社會住宅;因此有耐用而不精緻的五金、可以承受大量使用的地坪、標準化的燈具與設備。沒有任何奢侈的材料與訂製的細節。它是為了實用與公共而不是為了展示。避免:加入奢華材料與訂製工藝、使用精緻的訂製五金、把空間做成私人住宅的舒適感、加入裝飾性的細節。
