Le Corbusier | Enamel Door of the Assembly Building: A Door Painted as the Universe

A huge metal door, its surface covered with hand-painted enamel: the sun's trajectory, moon phases, human figures, animals, palms, and geometric symbols are juxtaposed. The colors are primary red, yellow, blue, green, and black, with an asymmetrical composition and no clear reading order. The door itself is several stories high, opening on a pivot, and usually only opened once. Behind the door is a massive fair-faced concrete portico, supported by robust diagonal columns holding up an upward-curving canopy. The roughness of the concrete contrasts sharply with the colorful enamel of the door. Shot in strong daylight, the canopy casts a clear shadow boundary on the door. Avoid: plain door, symmetrical and regular painting, soft color scheme, smooth surrounding concrete.

一扇巨大的金屬門,表面覆滿手繪的琺瑯彩繪:太陽的軌跡、月相、人形、動物、手掌與幾何符號並置,顏色為原色的紅、黃、藍、綠與黑,構圖不對稱且沒有明確的閱讀順序。門本身有數層樓高,以樞軸開啟,平時只開啟一次。門的背後是巨大的清水混凝土門廊,由粗壯的斜柱撐起一道向上翻捲的雨庇。混凝土的粗獷與門的彩繪形成極端對比。日間強烈陽光下拍攝,雨庇在門上投下明確的陰影邊界。避免:門改為素面、彩繪對稱規則、配色柔和、周圍混凝土改為平滑。
