Damascus・Old Town Alleyways

A narrow alley in the old city. Both sides are continuous plain high walls, with only sporadic small doors and protruding wooden lattice windows on the second floor; occasionally, rooms span across the alley above, forming an overstreet building that cuts the sunlight into fragments. The ground is polished flagstones, and the alley width is less than three meters. Avoid: drawing the alley wide and bright, opening many windows on the walls, removing the overstreet buildings, having storefronts and signs appear on the facades.

一條老城的窄巷。兩側是連續的素色高牆,只有零星的小門與二樓凸出的木格窗;上方偶爾有房間跨過巷子形成過街樓,把陽光切成片段。地面是磨亮的石板,巷子寬度不到三公尺。避免:把巷子畫得寬敞明亮、在牆上開設大量的窗、拿掉過街樓、讓立面出現店面與招牌。
