Bad Examples of Organic Architecture

An example of common mistakes in organic architecture. The poorly executed version is: a twisted white mass where every curve lacks reason, sitting on a flattened empty lot; the curved surface is pieced together with aluminum panels, with misaligned seams on the arcs; a thin layer of turf on the roof is claimed to be ecological; the interior is actually a conventional rectilinear layout, with only the exterior shell performing. The correct approach is for curves to have reasons, materials to support the curved surfaces, and sections to be consistent with the exterior form. Avoid: curves lacking corresponding spatial and topographical reasons, using flat materials to forcibly create curved surfaces, treating green roofs as mere surface decoration, or having interior plans unrelated to the exterior form.

一個示範常見錯誤的對照。做壞的版本是:一個扭來扭去但每個彎都沒有理由的白色量體,底下是一塊被整平的空地;曲面用了鋁板拼接,接縫在弧面上歪掉;屋頂上鋪了一層薄薄的草皮就宣稱是生態;室內其實是一般的方正隔間,只有外殼在演。正確的做法是曲線有理由、材料撐得住曲面、剖面與外形一致。避免:讓曲線沒有對應的空間與地形理由、使用平板材料強行拼出曲面、把綠屋頂做成表面的裝飾層、讓室內的平面與外觀的形體無關。
