Screen and Transparency: Blocking Half While Seeing Half

A contemporary screen serving as a space divider. It is a full-height wooden grille, but its proportions have been re-evaluated—the wooden slats are extremely thin, the spacing is wider, and it features irregular variations in density, unlike traditional dense floral grilles. Thus, it obstructs the completeness of the view without blocking it entirely: through the gaps, one can see the light, furniture silhouettes, and moving figures in the space behind, but not clear details. The grille casts long, linear shadows on the floor and walls, moving with the light. Its junction with the floor and ceiling is a recessed dark seam, making it appear to float. The material is dark solid wood. Avoid: using traditional dense carved window grilles, making the grille completely opaque, making the wooden slats thick and robust, adding complex floral patterns.

一片作為空間分隔的當代屏風。它是通高的木格柵,但比例經過重新推敲——木條的斷面極細、間距較寬、而且是不規則的疏密變化,不是傳統的密集花格。因此它擋住了視線的完整性卻沒有阻斷:透過縫隙可以看見後方空間的光、家具的輪廓與移動的人影,但看不清楚細節。格柵在地面與牆面上投下細長的線狀陰影,隨著光線移動。它與地面、天花的交接是內凹的暗縫,看起來像浮著。材料是深色的實木。避免:使用傳統的密集雕花格窗、讓格柵完全不透視、把木條做得粗壯、加入複雜的花紋圖案。
