Brick and Stone: One Side for Texture

An exposed masonry wall. It could be light-colored elongated bricks arranged in a regular stretcher bond, or dry-stacked flagstones with clear horizontal stratification; the mortar joints are recessed, and the surface is rough with noticeable undulations. Only this one wall in the entire space is masonry, the rest are white walls, wood panels, and glass. Side lighting casts shadows on the edges of each block, making it the most texturally rich part of the image. Avoid: having multiple walls made of masonry, using cultured stone and faux stone veneers, painting brick walls white, using neatly cut square blocks of stone.

一面外露的砌體牆。它可能是淺色的長條磚以規則的順砌排列,或是水平層理明顯的片石乾砌;勾縫是內凹的,表面粗糙有明顯的凹凸。整個空間只有這一面是砌體的,其餘是白牆、木板與玻璃。側光讓每一塊的邊緣都有陰影,成為畫面裡質地最豐富的部分。避免:讓多面牆都是砌體、使用文化石與仿石貼片、把磚牆粉刷成白色、使用切割整齊的方形塊石。
