Raw Stone Surface: Uncut and Unpolished

A stone wall with natural fracture surfaces preserved. The stones are locally quarried or recycled, varying in size, and stacked according to their original shapes without being cut into regular blocks. The exposed surfaces are natural cleavage and weathered faces, with an unevenness of up to ten centimeters, revealing mineral stratification, crystallization, and color variations. The mortar joints are deeply recessed and close in color to the stone, making it appear as if the stones are stacked by themselves. Small plants and moss grow in some crevices on the wall. When grazing light falls on the wall, the unevenness of each stone casts deep shadows, and the texture of the entire wall is extremely strong. Avoid: using neatly cut regular blocks, grinding and polishing the surface, using artificial panels that imitate stone, making the mortar joints protrude and be conspicuous.

一面保留自然斷面的石牆。石塊是就地開採或回收的,大小不一,砌築時依原本的形狀堆疊而不切割成規則的塊體;暴露的表面是自然的劈裂面與風化面,凹凸落差可達十公分,可以看見礦物的層理、結晶與顏色的變化。灰縫是深凹的,顏色與石材接近,因此看起來像是石頭自己堆在一起。牆面上有些縫隙中長出了小型的植物與苔蘚。掠射的光落在牆上時,每一塊石頭的凹凸都投出深深的陰影,整面牆的紋理極為強烈。避免:使用切割整齊的規則石塊、把表面磨平拋光、使用仿石的人造板材、讓灰縫外凸而明顯。
