Spires and Pinnacles: Points on the Silhouette

The skyline silhouette of a building. The main tower is a tall octagonal spire, surrounded by smaller pinnacles standing on buttresses and corners, each with its own taper and carving. The height of the spires gradually decreases, forming a hierarchical silhouette. The sky is a blank background. Avoid: all spires being the same height without hierarchy, making the spires look like conical hats from a fairy tale, having so many spires that the silhouette becomes cluttered, making the height of the main tower indistinct.

一棟建築的天際輪廓。主塔是一座高聳的八角尖塔,周圍分佈著較小的尖塔立在扶壁與轉角上,每一座都有自己的收分與雕花。尖的高度層層遞減,形成有主有次的輪廓。天空是留白的背景。避免:所有尖塔一樣高沒有主次、把尖頂做成圓錐帽的童話造型、尖塔數量多到輪廓變雜亂、讓主塔的高度不明顯。
