Flowing Space: Gaps Between Walls

An early modernist interior where spaces permeate each other. The dividing wall panels do not connect to each other, leaving gaps of varying widths, allowing sightlines to pass from one space to the next and then to a third; the upper edge of some walls does not reach the ceiling, allowing light and air to connect from above. Therefore, no space is completely enclosed, and the view constantly changes as one moves. Avoid: making all walls from floor to ceiling and connecting them to each other, making each function into an independent enclosed room, using doors to close off spaces, allowing sightlines to be blocked within a single space.

一個空間互相滲透的早期現代主義室內。分隔的牆片彼此不相接,留出寬窄不一的縫隙,視線可以從一個空間穿到下一個再穿到第三個;有些牆的上緣不到天花,光與空氣從上方連通。因此沒有一個空間是完全封閉的,人在移動時視野不斷變化。避免:讓所有的牆都從地到頂並且互相接合、把每個機能做成獨立的密閉房間、使用門把空間關起來、讓視線在單一空間內就被擋住。
