Solid and Void: Placing Emptiness Next to Heaviness

A space organized by the contrast of solid and void. The solid part is a full-height, heavy stone wall, with a strong sense of mass, completely opaque, and deep in color, occupying one-third of the image; immediately adjacent to it is the void part—a whole transparent wooden grille screen, with light filtering through from behind, almost weightless; further beyond is a completely empty doorway, without even a grille. Thus, from left to right, the density of the space gradually decreases: solid, semi-void, full void. This rhythm gives the large-scale space layers and breath, rather than being solid all the way through. The flooring is continuous stone, passing through these three segments. Avoid: making the density of the three segments similar, making the void part completely enclosed, adding more materials to disrupt the rhythm, having trim strips appear at the junctions.

一個以虛實對比組織的空間。實的部分是一面通高的厚重石材牆,質量感強烈、完全不透、顏色深沉,佔畫面的三分之一;緊鄰著它的是虛的部分——一整片通透的木格柵屏,後方的光透過來,幾乎沒有重量;再過去是一個完全空的門洞,連格柵都沒有。因此從左到右,空間的密實度逐級遞減:實、半虛、全虛。這種節奏讓大尺度的空間有了層次與呼吸,而不是一路實到底。地坪是連續的石材,穿過這三個段落。避免:讓三個段落的密實度接近、把虛的部分做成完全封閉、加入更多材料打亂節奏、讓交界處出現收邊條。
