Gothic Revival: Wooden Churches

A small wooden church in the countryside. Vertical board-and-batten walls painted white or dark, pointed arch windows made with wooden frames, gables and eaves with镂空 (openwork) carved bargeboards, and a steep roof topped with a slender wooden spire. Surrounded by grass and trees. Intimate scale.
Avoid: changing to stone and brick masonry, making the spire a heavy stone tower, removing the carved bargeboards, enlarging the building's scale to that of a city church.

一棟鄉間的小型木造教堂。垂直板條牆刷成白色或深色,尖拱窗用木框做成,山牆與屋簷有鏤空的雕花封簷板,屋頂陡峭上方有一座細長的木構尖塔。周圍是草地與樹。尺度親切。避免:改用石材與磚砌、把尖塔做成厚重的石塔、拿掉雕花封簷板、讓建築的尺度放大到城市教堂的規模。
