Steel Plate Cloud: A Sheet of Metal on the Lobby Ceiling

Hundreds of bent stainless steel plates are suspended from the ceiling of a high-ceilinged lobby. Each plate is approximately 200mm wide and of varying lengths, hanging at different angles, collectively forming a swirling cloud. The steel plates are matte, not mirrored, so the reflection is soft. Light strips are interspersed between the steel plates, with some areas forming slender dots, like rain falling into the cloud. Below is a dark floor and a minimalist ticket counter, with all walls black, forcing attention upwards. A person stands directly beneath the cloud, looking up. Avoid: mirrored polished steel plates, colorful lighting changes, decorative light fixtures suspended below the ceiling, posters or screens on the walls.

挑高大廳的天花懸掛數百片彎折的不鏽鋼板,每片寬約 200mm、長度不等,以不同角度垂下,整體聚成一團翻捲的雲。鋼片是霧面的,不是鏡面,所以反射是柔的。光帶穿插在鋼片之間,有幾處做成細長的點狀,像雨落在雲裡。下方是深色的地坪與極簡的售票櫃檯,牆面全黑,把注意力逼向上方。人站在雲的正下方仰望。避免:鋼片使用鏡面拋光、加入彩色燈光變化、天花下再吊裝飾燈具、牆面出現海報或螢幕。
