Curved Fair-faced Concrete: Formwork Marks Follow the Arc

A curved fair-faced concrete surface. The surface retains parallel textures from narrow formwork strips, each about ten centimeters wide, with the grain direction following the curvature of the surface rather than being horizontal. Tie-rod holes appear at regular intervals between the textures and are not filled. The concrete color is warm gray, with subtle color variations and tiny air voids left by the pouring process. Avoid: using large flat formwork to create a textureless surface, making the formwork grain inconsistent with the curve direction, filling and polishing tie-rod holes, or covering the concrete surface with paint.

一面曲面的清水混凝土。表面保留窄條板模留下的平行紋理,每條寬約十公分,紋路的方向順著曲面的曲率走而不是水平的;綁條孔以規律的間距出現在紋理之間,沒有補平。混凝土的顏色是暖灰,表面有澆置留下的細微色差與極小的氣孔。避免:使用大片平板模做出無紋的表面、讓板模紋與曲面的方向不一致、把綁條孔補平打磨、使用塗料覆蓋混凝土的表面。
