Curved Brickwork: Bricks Turning One by One

A close-up of a curved red brick facade, where the wall undulates in a wave-like pattern in plan. Each brick is laid with a slight turn following the curve, with mortar joints slightly wider at convex points and narrower at concave points. The top of the brick wall finishes in a soft arc. Side lighting casts tiny shadows from the edge of each brick, clearly revealing the undulations of the curved surface. Avoid: using perfectly flat cut tiles for cladding, mortar joint widths being perfectly uniform like machine-made, the brick wall being straight, or using gray or white bricks.

一面彎曲的紅磚外牆近景,牆面在平面上是波浪狀起伏,每一塊磚都順著曲線微微轉角砌上去,灰縫在凸處略寬、凹處略窄;頂端的磚牆收成一道柔和的弧線。側光讓每一塊磚的邊緣都投下細小的陰影,曲面的起伏清楚可見。避免:用切割得很平整的磁磚貼面、灰縫寬度完全一致像是機器做的、磚牆是平直的、使用灰色或白色的磚。
