Art Nouveau · Park Bandstand

An octagonal Art Nouveau bandstand in the center of a city park. Slender cast-iron columns painted pale green, with capitals unfurling into curling leaves supporting a petal-shaped sheet metal roof. A circle of openwork cast-iron lace hangs from the roof edge, topped by a wrought-iron flower bud finial. The bandstand is surrounded by a lawn, curved benches, and plane trees, with a band playing on a Sunday afternoon. Avoid: The bandstand being a modern steel stage with sound trusses, a canvas membrane roof, a hard-paved plaza surrounding it, or the ironwork painted glossy black.

城市公園中央的一座八角形新藝術音樂台,細長的鑄鐵柱漆成淡綠色,柱頭展開成捲曲的葉片托起一片花瓣形的鐵皮屋頂,屋頂邊緣垂下一圈鏤空的鑄鐵花邊,頂端是一支鍛鐵的花苞尖頂飾;音樂台周圍是草坪、弧形的長椅與梧桐樹,週日下午有樂隊在演奏。避免:音樂台是現代的鋼構舞台與音響桁架、屋頂是帆布膜構造、周圍是硬鋪面廣場、鐵件漆成亮黑色。
