Curved Timber Louvers: Vertical Elements Forming a Curved Surface

The outer layer of a rounded building is wrapped by a circle of vertical wooden grilles. Each piece of wood is straight, but arranged along a curved plane, forming a soft curved surface overall. The spacing of the grilles is denser in the direction requiring sun shading and sparser in the direction facing the view. The glass and interior behind are faintly visible through the gaps. Avoid: the wood itself being bent into twisted shapes, completely uniform grille spacing, using plastic imitation wood materials, the building behind the grilles being a square box.

一棟圓角建築的外層被一圈垂直的木格柵包覆,每一根木料都是筆直的,但沿著彎曲的平面排列,整體形成一道柔和的曲面;格柵的間距在需要遮陽的方向較密,在面向景觀的方向較疏。後方的玻璃與室內在縫隙間若隱若現。避免:把木料本身彎曲成扭曲的形狀、格柵間距完全一致、使用塑膠仿木材料、格柵後方的建築是方正的盒子。
