Daytime Appearance: Shadows as Decoration

A modern minimalist space during the day, with no artificial lights on. Light comes entirely from a large window, with a thin black frame or a frame the same color as the wall. Sunlight streams in diagonally, casting long shadows of the window frame and outlines of furniture on the smooth gray-white walls; a dark shadow band underneath the suspended cabinets; a thin line cast by the edge of the dropped ceiling. Because the surfaces are clean and unadorned, these shadows become the only patterns in the picture. Avoid: using heavy curtains to block the light, adding wall decorations and paintings to compete with the shadows, using artificial lighting to fill in all shadows, making the window proportion too small.

一個白天不開燈的現代簡約空間。光完全來自一面大窗,窗框是細的黑色或與牆同色的框。日光斜射進來,在平整的灰白牆面上留下窗框的長影與家具的輪廓影;懸空櫃體下方有一道深色的陰影帶;天花的降板邊緣投下一條細線。因為表面乾淨、沒有裝飾,這些陰影成為畫面裡唯一的圖案。避免:使用厚重的窗簾遮住光線、加入牆面裝飾與掛畫搶走陰影、用人工照明填平所有陰影、讓窗戶的比例過小。
