Landscape Imagery: Not Painting Mountains, but Creating the Feeling of Mountains

An interior that expresses the imagery of mountains and water through abstract means. There are no landscape paintings or realistic decorations, but rather the space itself: a full-height stone wall, chosen for its texture resembling ink wash brushstrokes, with deep and shallow veins forming undulating mountain ranges on the wall. Large slabs are book-matched to create a continuous and complete "mountain." In front of the wall, on the ground, there is a very shallow water trough, with a still water surface reflecting the stone wall, forming a relationship between water and mountain. Two or three naturally shaped stones are placed in the trough, partly exposed above the water, with their size and position carefully considered. Lighting from above grazes the surface, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the stone texture. The overall impression is abstract and material, not patterned. Avoid: Using realistic landscape murals and patterns, arranging stones in regular rows, adding rockeries and bonsai-style landscaping, using colored underwater lights.

一個以抽象手法表現山水的室內。沒有任何山水畫與寫實的裝飾,而是靠空間本身:一面通高的石材牆,選用紋理如同水墨皴法的品種,深淺的脈絡在牆上構成起伏的山勢,大板對花讓這片「山」連續而完整;牆前的地面上有一道極淺的水槽,水面靜止映出石牆的倒影,形成水與山的關係;水槽中放著兩三塊自然形狀的石頭,一部分露出水面,大小與位置經過推敲。照明從上方掠射,強化石紋的立體感。整體是抽象的、材料的,不是圖案的。避免:使用寫實的山水壁畫與圖案、把石頭排成規則的隊列、加入假山與盆景式的造景、使用彩色的水下燈。
