Symmetry is Baroque, Asymmetry is Rococo

An interior that distinguishes two styles by composition. A Baroque room has an absolute central axis: doors, windows, fireplaces, mirrors, and chandeliers are all aligned, with perfectly mirrored sides. Rococo, in contrast, is asymmetrical: the decorative elements on the two sides of a mirror frame differ in length, wall scrolls flow in one direction, and furniture is not arranged in pairs. Only one of these logics is presented in the image. Avoid: mixing two compositional logics in the same space, having asymmetry in a Baroque arrangement, having mirrored left and right decorations in Rococo, mixing elements of the two styles.

一個以構圖區分兩種風格的室內。巴洛克的房間有一條絕對的中軸:門、窗、壁爐、鏡與吊燈全部對齊,兩側完全鏡像。洛可可則相反:鏡框的兩側花飾長度不同、牆面的捲飾向一個方向流動、家具的擺放不成對。畫面裡只呈現其中一種邏輯。避免:在同一空間混用兩種構圖邏輯、讓巴洛克的配置出現不對稱、讓洛可可的裝飾左右鏡像、把兩種風格的元素混在一起。
