Repairs Are Not Concealed

An exposed concrete repair mark. A honeycomb-shaped void in the wall has been filled with cement mortar. The patched part is lighter in color and different in texture from the surrounding area, with clearly visible boundaries. A cut-off embedded rebar exposes its cross-section nearby. These repairs have not been ground or painted over, but honestly remain on the surface. Avoid: grinding the repair smooth and painting it until it's invisible, using full-surface painting to cover all imperfections, deliberately making repair marks into decoration, adding excessive damage to make it look like a ruin.

一處外露的混凝土修補痕跡。牆上一塊蜂窩狀的空洞被水泥砂漿填補過,補上去的部分顏色比周圍淺、質地也不同,邊界清楚可見;旁邊一根被切斷的預埋鋼筋露出斷面。這些修補沒有被打磨與塗裝掩蓋,誠實地留在表面上。避免:把修補處磨平並塗色到看不出來、使用整面塗裝掩蓋所有瑕疵、讓修補的痕跡刻意做成裝飾、加入過多的破損顯得像廢墟。
