Gothic Revival: Churches

A 19th-century urban church. The central facade features a pointed arch main entrance with a rose window above, flanked by buttresses and pinnacles. One side has a tall bell tower with a spire. The walls are striped masonry of red brick and stone, and the roof is steeply pitched with slate tiles. In front is a small paved plaza. Avoid: depicting it as a ruined medieval cathedral, using contemporary glass and concrete, placing the bell tower in the exact center to disrupt asymmetry, making the facade lack buttresses and vertical bundles.

一棟十九世紀的市區教堂。正立面中央是尖拱主入口與上方的玫瑰窗,兩側是扶壁與小尖塔,一側有高聳的鐘塔與尖頂。牆體是紅磚與石材的條紋砌法,屋頂陡峭鋪石板瓦。前方有一小塊鋪石廣場。避免:畫成中世紀的殘破大教堂、使用當代的玻璃與混凝土、把鐘塔放在正中央破壞不對稱、讓立面缺少扶壁與垂直線束。
