Where Not to Be Round: A Few Straight Lines Should Remain

A cream-colored space that retains straight lines. Not everything is round: the flooring is laid in straight directions, window frames are square, picture frames on the wall are rectangular, the dining table is rectangular, and bookshelf shelves are straight. The presence of these straight lines allows curves to be read; if everything were round, the image would blur into a formless mass. The ratio of straight to round is approximately three to seven.
Avoid: making the floor a curved mosaic, using round windows and picture frames, making all furniture round, having no straight lines visible in the image.

一個保留了直線的奶油空間。不是所有東西都圓:地板的鋪設方向是筆直的、窗框是方的、掛在牆上的畫框是矩形的、餐桌是長方形的、書架的層板是直的。這些直線的存在讓曲線被讀出來;如果全部都圓,畫面會糊成一團失去骨架。直與圓的比例大約是三比七。避免:把地板做成弧形拼貼、使用圓形的窗與畫框、讓所有家具都是圓的、讓畫面裡找不到任何一條直線。
