Empty Room: The One With Nothing

A completely empty room. There is no furniture, no objects, no decorations, only four rough earthen walls, a dark wooden floor, a wooden ceiling, and an opening in the wall. The room is not large, with a quiet rectangular proportion. It is not unfinished, but deliberately kept empty as a blank space within the entire residence—a place for quiet meditation, for temporary storage, or for doing nothing at all. Because it is completely devoid of content, one can only perceive the dimensions of the space itself, the texture of the materials, and the movement of light over time. Light enters diagonally from the opening, forming a distinct shape on the floor. Avoid: adding any furniture or objects, making the walls smooth and flat, adding lighting fixtures, making the space appear like an unfinished shell.

一個完全空著的房間。裡面沒有任何家具、沒有物件、沒有裝飾,只有四面粗糙的土壁、一片深色的木地板、一片木板天花、與牆上一個開口。房間不大,比例是安靜的長方形。它不是還沒佈置好,而是刻意保持空著,作為整個住宅中的一個留白——可以在裡面靜坐、可以放置臨時的東西、也可以什麼都不做。因為完全沒有內容,人在裡面能感覺到的只有空間本身的尺寸、材料的質地、與光線隨時間的移動。光從開口斜射進來,在地板上形成一塊明確的形狀。避免:加入任何家具與物件、把牆面做成平整光滑、加入照明設備、讓空間顯得像未完工的毛胚。
