Kiosk and Gatehouse: Small-Scale Complete Units

A small brick structure in a park. It could be a pavilion, a gatehouse, or a ticket booth, very small in size but with a complete architectural vocabulary: a horseshoe arch on each of its four sides, brick pilasters at the corners, a corbelled cornice and a perforated parapet at the top, and a small four-hipped glazed tile roof above. Due to its small scale, the brick pattern density appears higher. Surrounded by trees and gravel ground. Avoid: simplifying the decoration of the small structure, using a different vocabulary than large buildings, enlarging the scale and losing its delicacy, adding decorations not belonging to this system.

一座公園裡的小磚砌構造。它可能是一座涼亭、一道門樓或一個售票亭,尺寸很小但語彙完整:四面各一道馬蹄拱、角落有磚砌壁柱、頂部是疊澀簷口與鏤空女兒牆、上方一個小的四坡琉璃瓦頂。因為尺度小,磚的圖案密度看起來更高。周圍是樹與碎石地。避免:把小構造的裝飾簡化、使用與大型建築不同的語彙、把尺度放大失去精緻、加入不屬於這個系統的裝飾。
