Openings: Horseshoe and Parabolic Windows

Close-up of a series of Art Nouveau window openings on a light-colored stone facade: the upper edge of each window is a soft horseshoe or parabolic shape, not a semicircle or straight; the window frames are dark green wood, and the upper part of the window sashes have delicate curved divisions; the stone edges around the window openings are carved into rounded bevels as if water has flowed over them; the shape of the windows on each floor is slightly different, becoming lighter and more ethereal towards the top. Avoid: classical semicircular arched windows with keystones, square rectangular window openings, white aluminum window frames, all windows having exactly the same shape.

一面淺色石材立面上一系列新藝術風格的窗洞近景:每一扇窗的上緣都是柔和的馬蹄形或拋物線,而不是半圓或平直;窗框是深綠色的木料,窗扇上段有細細的曲線分割,窗洞周圍的石材邊緣被雕成像水流過般的圓潤斜面;每層窗的形狀略有不同,越往上越輕盈。避免:使用古典的半圓拱窗與拱心石、窗洞是方正的長方形、窗框是白色鋁料、所有窗戶形狀完全相同。
