New Openings: Avoid Opening if Possible, Be Clear If You Must

An old wall where a new entrance/exit must be added. The new opening is chosen to enlarge an existing door or window, or in a wall section added later; the edges of the opening are finished with a dark steel frame, the profile of which is clearly different from the original doors and windows. All original openings are preserved. Avoid: arbitrarily creating new holes in a complete historic facade, making the new opening imitate the style of the original doors and windows, blocking off original doors and windows and opening new ones elsewhere, allowing the size of the new opening to disrupt the proportions of the facade.

一面必須新增出入口的老牆。新開口選在原本就有門窗的位置擴大,或選在後期增建的牆段;開口的邊緣用深色鋼框收邊,框的斷面明顯與原有的門窗不同。原有的開口全部保留。避免:在完整的歷史立面上隨意開新洞、把新開口做成模仿原有門窗的樣式、封掉原有的門窗改在別處開、讓新開口的尺寸破壞立面的比例。
