Structure Hidden: Columns Recessed Out of Sight

A three-story futuristic minimalist office building. The facade consists of alternating continuous horizontal white floor bands and dark glass bands, with no vertical mullions in the glass bands; all structural columns are recessed two meters behind the glass, completely invisible in the daytime reflection. The entire building reads as only horizontal lines. Avoid: having columns appear on the facade flush with the glass, using prominent curtain wall mullions, having vertical rhythmic divisions on the facade, exposing the thickness of beams at the edge of the floor slabs.

一棟三層樓的未來感極簡辦公建築。立面是連續的水平白色樓板帶與深色玻璃帶交替,玻璃帶沒有任何垂直的豎框;結構柱全部退到玻璃後方兩公尺,在白天的反射下完全看不見。整棟讀起來只有水平線。避免:讓柱子貼著玻璃出現在立面上、使用明顯的帷幕牆豎框、立面出現垂直的分割節奏、讓樓板邊緣露出樑的厚度。
