Definition: Curves as the Protagonist of the Facade

The exterior of a building where organic curves are the main architectural language. The edge of each floor slab is a soft arc, with slightly different curvatures between layers, making the entire facade resemble a stack of stone slabs eroded by water; there are no right angles at the corners, and the balconies, canopies, and roof edges are all continuous curves. It is not a strange shape, but a comfortable house where straight lines have been replaced by curves. Avoid: mixing in a large number of sharp, rectilinear volumes in addition to curves, making the building a twisted, exaggerated sculpture, having curves merely as decorative panels attached to a square box, using too many colors and materials.

一棟以有機曲線為主要語彙的建築外觀。每一層樓板的邊緣都是柔和的弧線,層與層之間的弧度略有不同,整個立面像是一疊被水流沖刷過的石片;轉角沒有一個直角,陽台、雨遮與屋頂邊緣都是連續的曲線。它不是奇怪的造型,而是把直線換成了曲線的一棟好住的房子。避免:在曲線之外混入大量尖銳的直角量體、把建築做成扭曲誇張的雕塑、讓曲線只是貼在方盒子外面的裝飾板、使用過多的顏色與材料。
