Exposed but Unadorned Beams and Columns

A set of exposed Korean wooden structures. The ceiling shows several horizontal beams and the rafters above them; the wood is light brown pine, retaining natural knots and slight curves; the joints are simple mortise and tenon, without metal parts, carvings, or paintings. The beams have large cross-sections but their surfaces are only planed and oiled. Between the beams is a white ceiling surface. Avoid: adding paintings and patterns to the wooden structure, using exposed metal joints, staining the wood dark, adding carved brackets and decorative components.

一組外露的韓式木構。天花可以看到幾根橫向的樑與其上的椽,木材是淺褐色的松木,保留自然的節與輕微的彎曲;接合處是簡單的榫卯,沒有金屬件也沒有雕刻與彩繪。樑的斷面粗大但表面只經過刨平與上油。樑與樑之間是白色的天花面。避免:在木構上加入彩繪與紋樣、使用金屬件外露的接合、把木材染成深色、加入雕刻的斗栱與裝飾構件。
