Stairwell: Light Through Perforated Brick Walls

A staircase covered in geometric light and shadow. One entire exterior wall of the stairwell is made of openwork brickwork, with holes arranged in continuous octagonal stars and crosses; sunlight passes through, casting dense geometric light spots on the opposite brick wall, stair treads, and people, moving with time. The staircase itself is simple brickwork with stone treads, and the railing is black wrought iron straight bars. The overall space is dark. Avoid: adding glass behind the openwork to flatten the light, using regular windows instead of the openwork wall, making the space brightly and uniformly lit, letting light spots fall on empty areas.

一座被幾何光影覆蓋的樓梯。樓梯間的一整面外牆是鏤空的磚砌,孔洞排成連續的八角星與十字;日光穿過去,在對面的磚牆、樓梯的踏面與人的身上投下密密麻麻的幾何光斑,隨時間移動。樓梯本身是簡單的磚砌與石踏面,欄杆是黑色鍛鐵直桿。空間整體是暗的。避免:在鏤空後加裝玻璃讓光變平、使用一般的窗取代鏤空牆、把空間照得明亮均勻、讓光斑落在空無一物的地方。
