Polychrome Brick Frieze: A Horizontal Band of Color

A band of colored tiles wrapping around a building. It is only twenty to forty centimeters wide, located under the eaves or between floors. The pattern is a repeating geometric or calligraphic band, with colors mainly blue, white, green, and ochre yellow; it is the only colorful part of the entire building, and there is only this one band. The tiles are hand-painted, with uneven glaze saturation. Avoid: using more than two colored tile bands, making the band too wide and becoming the main feature, using machine-printed uniform tiles, having more than four colors.

一條繞過建築的彩色磁磚帶。寬度只有二十到四十公分,位在簷口下方或樓層之間,圖案是重複的幾何或書法帶,顏色以藍、白、綠與赭黃為主;它是整棟建築唯一有彩度的地方,而且只有這一條。磁磚是手繪的,釉色濃淡不勻。避免:使用超過兩條彩磚帶、把飾帶做得太寬變成主角、使用機製印刷的均勻磁磚、讓顏色種類超過四個。
