Terracotta Louvers: Repeating Units on Curves

The facade of a curved office building, with an outer sunshade screen composed of ochre terracotta units. Each terracotta unit is a identical cylindrical tube, arranged horizontally in parallel lines along the curve of the building. Sunlight passes through the gaps in the terracotta tubes, casting dappled light and shadow indoors. The warm tone of the terracotta and the curves soften the entire building. Avoid: each terracotta unit having different shapes and angles, the sunshade screen being straight, using metal or plastic materials, bright and unnatural colors.

一棟弧形辦公建築的立面,外層是一道由赭色陶磚單元組成的遮陽屏,每一塊陶磚是相同的圓管狀,沿著建築的曲線水平排列成一條條平行的線,陽光穿過陶管的縫隙在室內投下斑駁的光影。陶磚的溫暖色調與曲線柔化了整棟建築。避免:每一塊陶磚使用不同的形狀與角度、遮陽屏是平直的、使用金屬或塑膠材質、顏色鮮豔而不自然。
