Rammed Earth and Adobe Walls: Walls are Pressed

A rammed earth or earth plaster textured wall. The surface shows horizontal stratification, traces left by layered compaction, with slight differences in color and roughness between each layer; the color is a gradient from ochre yellow to reddish brown. Visible sand grains and small stones are exposed on the surface, with a rough texture that is completely non-reflective. The wall is very thick, with its cross-section visible at openings. Avoid: using smooth, uniform paint to imitate, making the stratification into regular decorative stripes, adding protective varnish to make it shiny, making the wall appear thin.

一面夯土或土膏質感的牆。表面呈現水平方向的層理,是分層夯實留下的痕跡,每一層之間有輕微的顏色與粗糙度差異;顏色是赭黃到紅褐的漸變。表面有明顯的砂粒與小石子露出,觸感粗糙,完全不反光。牆的厚度很大,在開口處看得到斷面。避免:使用平整均勻的塗料模仿、把層理做成規則的裝飾條紋、在表面加上保護漆讓它變亮、讓牆看起來很薄。
