The Unconsented Building: Left in the Middle

An old house surrounded by a construction site. It is a three- or four-story old townhouse or apartment. The surrounding buildings have all been demolished, leaving vacant lots, but only this one stands intact in the center, with its originally connected side walls exposed. The owner still lives inside, with clothes drying on the iron grilles, a motorcycle parked at the entrance, and a water tank on the roof. The surroundings are construction fences and stacked engineering materials. Avoid: depicting this house as abandoned, showing new construction already started around it, omitting traces of its continued use, depicting it as deliberately dramatized isolation.

一棟被工地包圍的老屋。它是一棟三四層的舊透天或公寓,四周的建築都已經拆除成為空地,只有它還完整地站在中央,兩側原本相連的牆面裸露著;屋主仍然住在裡面,鐵窗上晾著衣服、門口停著機車、屋頂有水塔。周圍是施工圍籬與堆置的工程材料。避免:把這棟房子畫成廢棄狀態、讓周圍已經開始新建、省略它仍在使用的生活痕跡、把它畫成刻意戲劇化的孤立。
