Castile・Arcaded Plazas: Arcades Supported by a Ring of Columns

A village square surrounded by arcades. The houses on all four sides recede on the ground floor, supported by a row of sturdy stone or wooden columns that hold up the upper floors, forming a continuous covered walkway. The spacing of the columns is not entirely equal, the capitals are simple, and dark wooden beams are above. The square's ground is flagstone or compacted earth. Under the arcades are shops and taverns, with a few tables. This arcade provides shade, rain protection, and snow protection simultaneously. Avoid: having the ground floor not recede without a walkway, using regular symmetrical column rows, making the square's ground a modern paving, leaving the arcades empty and unused.

一座被拱廊圍繞的村鎮廣場。四周的房子在一樓退縮,由一排粗壯的石柱或木柱撐起上方的樓層,形成一圈連續的有頂步道;柱子的間距不完全相等,柱頭簡單,上方是深色的木樑。廣場的地面是石板或壓實的土。拱廊下是商店與酒館,有幾張桌子。這圈廊道同時遮陽、擋雨、擋雪。避免:讓一樓不退縮沒有廊道、使用規則對稱的柱列、把廣場地面做成現代鋪面、讓拱廊下空著沒有使用。
