Regrita | Yellow Lattice Wall: An Entrance Screen for Filtered Light

Ricardo Legorreta | Yellow Grid Wall: A Light-Filtering Entrance Screen
In front of the entrance stands a massive bright yellow grid wall: solid concrete squares interlace with hollow square openings, like an enlarged patterned brick wall, partially revealing the entrance behind it. Strong sunlight passes through the square openings, casting moving square light spots on the ground and the wall behind, changing throughout the day. The wall's color is a saturated, almost dazzling yellow, juxtaposed with surrounding pink and white volumes. People must walk around this wall to enter, making the wall a screen, a sunshade, and a declaration. The ground is paved with rough stones, with a shallow pool. Photographed at an oblique angle under strong light around noon, with square shadows falling on people and the ground. Avoid: grid wall changed to solid wall or transparent railing, low-saturation colors, square openings too small, directly facing the entrance.

在入口前方立起一道巨大的鮮黃色格柵牆:實體的混凝土方格與鏤空的方孔交錯,像一面被放大的花磚牆,把後方的入口半遮半露。強烈的陽光穿過方孔,在地面與後方的牆上投下移動的方格光斑,整天變化。牆的顏色為飽和到近乎刺眼的黃,與周圍的粉紅色與白色量體並置。人必須繞過這道牆才能進入,牆因此是屏風、是遮陽、也是宣告。地面為粗石鋪面,有淺水池。正午前後強光下斜角拍攝,方格的陰影落在人與地面上。避免:格牆改為實牆或透空欄杆、顏色低飽和、方孔尺寸過小、直接正對入口。
