Difference from Organic Curved Architecture: Handicraft and Decoration on Curves

Two curved buildings juxtaposed. The contemporary organic curved building has smooth white stucco curved floor slabs with no patterns; the curve itself is everything. The Art Nouveau building has something on every curve: wrought iron vines and leaves, irises carved into stone, glazed ceramics on window lintels, stained glass on doors; the curve is a skeleton to carry the craftsman's skill. One is subtractive, one is additive. Avoid: making the Art Nouveau building a smooth, undecorated curved surface; having plant reliefs appear on the contemporary building; using the same materials for both buildings; the Art Nouveau building using large areas of glass curtain walls.

兩棟曲線建築並置。當代有機曲線那棟是光滑的白色灰泥弧形樓板,沒有任何圖案,曲線本身就是全部;新藝術那棟的每一條曲線上都有東西:鍛鐵的藤蔓葉片、石材上雕出的鳶尾花、窗楣上的釉面陶瓷、門上的彩繪玻璃,曲線是用來承載工匠手藝的骨架。一個減法,一個加法。避免:讓新藝術那棟做成光滑無裝飾的曲面、讓當代那棟出現植物浮雕、兩棟使用相同的材料、新藝術那棟使用大面積的玻璃帷幕。
