Honesty of Materials: Concrete is Concrete

A brutalist interior where materials are completely unembellished. The concrete walls are as they were poured: formwork textures, bolt holes, pouring joints, localized honeycombing, and color variations are all preserved; no plastering, no cladding, no finishing. Wood is unpainted, steel is uncoated. Each material showcases how it was made. Avoid: plastering and painting on concrete, using imitation fair-faced concrete coatings and veneers, concealing structures, repairing to the point where construction traces are invisible.

一個材料完全不加掩飾的粗獷主義室內。混凝土的牆面就是澆置完成的樣子:板模的紋理、螺栓孔、澆置的接縫、局部的蜂窩與色差全部保留;沒有粉刷、沒有貼面、沒有修飾。木頭是未上漆的、鋼件是未包覆的。每一種材料都在展示它是怎麼被做出來的。避免:在混凝土上粉刷與塗裝、使用仿清水模的塗料與貼皮、把結構包覆起來、修補到看不出施工的痕跡。
