Fountain Driveway: The Arrival Ritual

Fountain Driveway: The Ritual of Arrival
A circular driveway in front of the main entrance of a residence, with an outer diameter of 30 meters. In the center is a circular pool with a fountain, the pool has a diameter of 12 meters and is built of stone, with a sculpture in the center. The driveway circles the pool once before returning to the portico of the main entrance. The paving is made of patterned stone, with a radial pattern from the center. Around the pool are neatly trimmed low hedges and symmetrical flower beds. The entire arrangement is strictly symmetrical and aligned with the central axis of the building. Shot from an overhead view from the second floor of the building, showing the complete circle and axial relationship.
Avoid: Asymmetrical driveway, pool off-center, asphalt paving, naturalistic planting arrangement.

住宅正門前的圓形迴車道,外徑 30 公尺,中央是一座圓形的水池與噴泉,水池的直徑 12 公尺,以石材砌成,中央是一件雕塑。車道環繞水池一圈後回到主入口的雨庇前。鋪面是拼花的石材,圖案以圓心放射。水池四周是修剪整齊的低矮綠籬與對稱的花壇。整組配置嚴格對稱並對準建築的中軸。從建築的二樓俯視拍攝,可以看見完整的圓與軸線關係。避免:迴車道做成不對稱、水池偏離中軸、鋪面使用瀝青、周邊植栽做成自然式配置。
