Canopy and Flower Domes: Only the Upper Section

A suspended flying screen. Unlike a floor-standing screen, it only has an upper section—hanging about fifty centimeters from the ceiling, extending downwards a short distance at both ends and then stopping, not reaching the floor; thus, the overall effect is like a suspended decorative lintel, allowing people to pass freely underneath without any obstruction. The lower edge of the screen's silhouette is a gentle curve or a layered cloud-scroll curve; the openwork infill is a continuous vine pattern or simplified geometry. Its function is purely to suggest a boundary and to visually lower an overly high space to an appropriate proportion. The wood is dark hardwood. Avoid: letting the screen reach the floor to become a floor-standing screen, making it a solid, opaque lintel, having it hang too low and obstruct vision, or adding door panels.

一道懸在空中的飛罩。與落地罩不同,它只有上方的一段——從天花垂下約五十公分,兩端向下延伸一小段後就停止,不落地;因此整體像一道懸空的門楣裝飾,人可以在下方自由通過而完全不受阻礙。罩的輪廓下緣是一道柔和的弧線或層疊的卷雲曲線;格心是透雕的纏枝或簡化的幾何。它的作用純粹是暗示這裡有一道界線,以及把過高的空間在視覺上壓低到合宜的比例。木料是深色硬木。避免:讓罩落到地面變成落地罩、把它做成實心不透空的門楣、垂下的高度過大擋住視線、加入門扇。
