Boundary Termination: How the Array Ends

A detail where an array meets its surroundings. The array of wooden ribs, when approaching the wall and ceiling, is not abruptly cut off but gradually shortens, becomes sparser, and finally disappears into an end panel of the same color as the wall; alternatively, the outermost few ribs are deliberately extended to enclose the entire side of the array, forming a complete edge. Thus, the array appears as a complete, unified object. Avoid: having the array directly cut off to expose its cross-section, using obvious trim frames to enclose the array, making the boundary treatment unrelated to the array itself, or having inconsistent end treatments at different locations.

一處陣列與周邊相接的細部。木肋的陣列在接近牆與天花時沒有被硬生生切斷,而是逐漸變短、變疏,最後消失在一道與牆同色的收頭板裡;或是最外圈的幾片肋刻意加長,包住整個陣列的側面形成一個完整的邊。因此陣列看起來是完整的一件東西。避免:讓陣列被直接切斷露出斷面、使用明顯的收邊框把陣列框起來、讓邊界的處理與陣列本身無關、讓收頭的方式在不同位置不一致。
