Concrete section: The weight of prefabrication

A stepped seating area composed of large precast concrete components. Each piece is a complete L-shaped or stepped cross-section, large enough to require crane installation, with a clear sense of weight. A two-centimeter gap is left between components, revealing the thickness of the cross-section and the internal aggregate. The concrete surface is unplastered, retaining the texture left by the formwork and tiny air bubbles. The color is a warm grey, with subtle variations due to the use of local sand and gravel and some recycled aggregate. The edges have a small chamfer. After long-term use, the seating areas are darker and smoother. The surroundings are gravel and grass slopes. Avoid: using monolithic cast-in-place structures, plastering the surface smooth, making components small and light, or eliminating formwork textures and air bubbles.

一組大型預鑄混凝土構件構成的階梯座位。每一塊都是一個完整的 L 形或階梯形斷面,尺寸大到需要吊車安裝,重量感明顯;構件之間留有兩公分的縫隙,可以看見斷面的厚度與內部的粒料。混凝土的表面沒有粉刷,保留模板留下的紋理與細小的氣泡孔;顏色是溫暖的灰,因為使用了當地的砂石與部分再生粒料而有細微的色差。邊角做小倒角。長期使用後,坐的位置顏色較深、較光滑。周邊是碎石與草坡。避免:使用現場澆置的整體結構、把表面粉刷抹平、讓構件的尺寸做小顯得輕、消除模板紋理與氣泡孔。
