Light from Large Windows: Letting Roughness Be Seen

A rustic space where material textures are revealed by natural light. Light from a full-height glass wall obliquely enters, almost parallelly sweeping across the surfaces of dry-stacked stone walls and rough-sawn wood; every saw mark, every protrusion of each stone casts clear shadows, and the roughness of the materials is fully presented. Areas further from the window gradually darken, leaving only the silhouettes of forms. Avoid: letting light directly flatten textures, softening light with curtains, illuminating the interior uniformly brightly, leaving rough surfaces in shadow where textures are indiscernible.

一個以自然光顯現材質的質樸空間。光從一整片落地玻璃斜射進來,幾乎平行地掃過乾砌石牆與粗鋸木的表面;每一道鋸痕、每一塊石頭的凸起都被拉出清楚的陰影,材質的粗糙度被完整地呈現。遠離窗的區域逐漸變暗,只剩形體的輪廓。避免:讓光正面平射消除質感、使用窗簾把光柔化、把室內照得均勻明亮、讓粗糙的表面處於陰影中看不出紋理。
