What Art Deco Architecture Looks Like When Done Badly

An intentionally failed architectural exterior as a comparison: an ordinary new glass curtain wall building with an oversized plastic golden sunburst on top, its facade covered with shiny golden aluminum rhombus strips that completely misalign with the window divisions; the ground floor entrance features two Roman columns paired with black mirrored surfaces; at night, the entire building is illuminated by purple and blue color-changing LEDs. It aims for the grandeur of Art Deco but only achieves cheap gold. Avoid: treating this as a positive example, beautifying these problems, making the image too refined to show the failures, adding explanatory text.

一張刻意呈現失敗案例的建築外觀,作為對照:一棟普通的玻璃帷幕新大樓,頂部加上一個比例過大的塑膠金色日芒造型,立面貼滿亮金色的鋁製菱形飾條,和窗戶的分割完全對不上;一樓入口是兩根羅馬柱配上黑色鏡面;夜間用紫色與藍色的變色 LED 打亮全棟。它想要裝飾藝術的排場,卻只剩廉價的金色。避免:把這張當成正面範例、美化這些問題、讓畫面過於精緻而看不出失敗之處、加入說明文字。
