Arches and Rounded Corners: Holes in Walls Are Round

A space where openings are treated with curves. Passageway openings are designed as semicircular arches or with rounded upper corners, with the arch springing from dark wooden frames; mirrors and niches are also arch-shaped. The curves have a large, gentle radius, not a pointed Gothic arch. The wall has a certain thickness, and the depth of the arch's side wall is visible. Avoid: making all openings square doorframes; using pointed arches and horseshoe arches; making the walls so thin that their thickness is imperceptible; mixing too many types of curves in the same space.

一個用弧線處理開口的空間。過道的開口做成半圓拱或上方兩角收圓,拱腳落在深色的木框上;鏡子與壁龕也是圓拱形。弧線的半徑大而平緩,不是尖的哥德拱。牆體有一定厚度,拱的側壁看得出深度。避免:把開口全部做成方正的門洞、使用尖拱與馬蹄拱、讓牆體薄到看不出厚度、在同一個空間裡混用太多種弧形。
