Difference from Modern Mediterranean: Fullness vs. Emptiness

An interior that is clearly North African rather than Southern European. Modern Mediterranean features empty walls of white lime plaster, minimalist arches, nothing hung on the walls, and shadows themselves as content; Morocco is the opposite: similarly thick walls and arches, but every inch of surface is covered with tiles, carved plaster, and wood carvings. The arch outlines are horseshoe-shaped or pointed, not simplified semi-circles, and the colors are rich rather than white and shadow blue. The framework is similar, but the surfaces are completely opposite. Avoid: making walls plain white lime plaster, using simplified semi-circular arches, leaving walls blank and relying only on shadows, using a white and shadow blue color scheme.

一個明顯是北非而非南歐的室內。現代地中海是白色石灰粉光的空牆、極簡的拱、牆上什麼都不掛、陰影本身就是內容;摩洛哥相反:同樣是厚牆與拱,但每一寸表面都被磁磚、石膏雕花與木雕覆蓋,拱的輪廓是馬蹄形或尖頭而不是半圓的簡化版,顏色濃烈而不是白與影藍。骨架相似,表面完全相反。避免:把牆面做成素白的石灰粉光、使用簡化的半圓拱、讓牆面留白只靠陰影、使用白與影藍的配色。
