Palace Banquet Hall: Geometry Instead of Florals

A large banquet hall where all decorative elements are derived from linear geometry rather than curved floral motifs: the ceiling features a coffered square pattern receding in layers, with each layer's edge having stepped triangular serrations; the walls are made of off-white stone, divided into combinations of rhombuses and triangles by embedded dark stone strips; the columns are square, with capitals tapering in three steps. The flooring is a large-scale geometric pattern composed of white, ochre, and dark green stone. The space is completely symmetrical and 50 meters long. Lighting consists of linear lights hidden in each receding layer of the coffered ceiling, washing light downwards layer by layer. Avoid: adding curved vines and floral patterns, using a lot of gold, making the ceiling flat, making the columns round.

一座大型宴會廳,裝飾語彙全部來自直線幾何而非曲線花卉:天花是層層退縮的方形藻井,每一層的邊緣是階梯狀的三角鋸齒;牆面是米白色的石材,以嵌入的深色石條分割成菱形與三角形的組合;柱是方形的,柱頭以三段階梯收分。地坪是白、赭、墨綠三色石材拼成的大尺度幾何。空間完全對稱,長 50 公尺。照明是藏在藻井每一層退縮處的線型光,由上往下層層洗亮。避免:加入曲線的藤蔓與花卉圖案、使用大量金色、天花做成平頂、柱做成圓形。
