Damascus・Courtyard Panorama

A panoramic view of the Damascus courtyard from a corner. The two-story enclosed facade features walls with black and white striped masonry, a full-height pointed arch open hall, and wooden lattice bay windows and railings on the second floor. The ground is a colorful marble mosaic with a central octagonal fountain, and citrus trees cast shadows. The sky is the only opening in the courtyard. Avoid: making the four facades symmetrical and repetitive, removing the striped masonry and replacing it with plain plaster, adding a glass roof to the courtyard, paving the floor with plain modern stone.

從中庭一角望向對面的畫面。二層高的圍合立面有黑白條砌的牆、一個全高的尖拱敞廳、二樓的木格凸窗與欄杆;地面是彩色大理石拼花與中央的八角噴泉,柑橘樹投下影子。天空是中庭唯一的開口。避免:把四面立面做成對稱重複、拿掉條砌改成素色抹灰、在中庭加設玻璃屋頂、讓地坪鋪成素色的現代石材。
