Transparent Levels: From Fully Open to Fully Blocked

Five levels of partitions juxtaposed in a space, arranged sequentially from open to enclosed. The first level is a completely open doorway, without any components; the second level is a 'flying screen' (feizhao), with only a frame hanging from above; the third level is a 'floor-standing screen' (luodizhao), grounded on both sides but passable in the center; the fourth level is a transparent grille screen or display shelf (bogujia), allowing views through but not passage; the fifth level is a solid screen wall (zhaobi), completely opaque and impassable. All five appear sequentially along a circulation path in the same frame, so the degree of enclosure changes progressively as one walks through. All use the same dark wood and the same cross-section for the lattice strips, so they read as a unified system. Avoid: using different materials and styles for the five partitions; disrupting the sequence from open to enclosed; omitting intermediate levels, only showing open and closed; making the scale of each level inconsistent.

一個空間中並置的五種隔斷層級,由通到隔依序排列。第一級是完全開放的門洞,沒有任何構件;第二級是飛罩,只有上方一道垂下的框;第三級是落地罩,兩側落地但中央通行;第四級是通透的格柵屏或博古架,可以看穿但無法通過;第五級是實體的照壁,完全不透也不通。五者在同一畫面中依序出現在一條動線上,因此人走過時空間的封閉程度逐步改變。全部使用同一種深色木料與同一套櫺條斷面,因此讀起來是一套系統。避免:讓五種隔斷使用不同的材料與風格、打亂由通到隔的順序、省略中間的層級只做開與關、把每一級的尺度做得不一致。
