Art Nouveau・Contemporary New Construction: Curves Remain in Structure, Decoration Recedes into Material

A newly built contemporary urban building, translating Art Nouveau with today's construction methods: the facade is a deep green laser-cut steel sunshade screen, with an abstract vine pattern growing from the ground, becoming sparser towards the top; behind the steel screen are clean glass and light-colored precast concrete; the columns on the first floor branch out from the ground like trees, supporting a canopy. It does not imitate the carvings of a hundred years ago but continues the logic of plant growth.
Avoid: copying stone carvings and cast iron ornaments from a hundred years ago, using plastic imitation antique components, vine patterns being repetitive units without a growth direction, the building as a whole looking like a replica of a historic building.

一棟當代新建的城市建築,以今天的工法轉譯新藝術:立面是一層漆成深綠色的雷射切割鋼板遮陽屏,圖案是從地面生長的抽象藤蔓,越往上越稀疏;鋼板後方是乾淨的玻璃與淺色預鑄混凝土;一樓的柱子從地面分岔成樹狀支撐雨遮。它不模仿百年前的雕花,卻延續了植物生長的邏輯。避免:照抄百年前的石雕與鑄鐵花飾、使用塑膠仿古構件、藤蔓圖案是重複的單元而沒有生長方向、建築整體看起來像歷史建築的複製品。
