Simplified Arch: Only the Curve Remains

A Mediterranean minimalist space with an opening simplified to the extreme. The opening to another room is a hole with an arched upper edge, cut directly from a thick wall. All four inner sides of the opening are made of the same plaster, with rounded corners; there is no keystone, no door frame, no moldings, and no door leaf. The shape of the arc is a simple semicircle or a very flat arch. All arches in the same residence use the same radius. Avoid: adding keystones and decorative edges, using pointed arches and horseshoe arches, installing door frames and door leaves in the opening, making the curvature of each arch different.

一個開口簡化到極限的地中海極簡空間。通往另一個房間的開口是一個上緣為弧的洞,直接從厚牆上切出來,洞口的四個內側面都是同一種灰泥,轉角圓潤;沒有拱心石、沒有門框、沒有線腳、沒有門扇。弧的形狀是簡單的半圓或極扁的弓形。同一個住宅裡的拱使用同一個半徑。避免:加入拱心石與裝飾邊、使用尖拱與馬蹄拱、在洞口安裝門框與門扇、讓每一個拱的弧度不同。
