Openings as Composition: The Position of the Hole Determines Everything

A space where the entire picture is composed by a single opening. The entire wall is blank concrete or lime plaster, with only one precisely rectangular opening, intentionally positioned off-center, close to one corner of the wall; its proportion is upright, much taller than it is wide. There is no visible window frame for the opening; the glass is directly finished with the wall, making it look as if a piece of the wall has been dug out. The outside view is thus cropped into a vertical painting. Avoid: multiple windows on the same wall, wide and flat horizontal windows, obvious window frames and sills, placing the window exactly in the center of the wall.

一個以單一開口構成畫面的空間。整面牆是空白的混凝土或石灰塗料,只有一個精準的長方形開口,位置刻意偏離牆面的中心,靠近一側的轉角;比例是直立的,高遠大於寬。開口沒有窗框可見,玻璃直接與牆體收邊,看起來像是牆被挖掉了一塊。外面的景色因此被裁切成一幅垂直的畫。避免:在同一面牆開多個窗、使用寬扁比例的橫向窗、加入明顯的窗框與窗台線板、把窗開在牆面的正中央。
