Perforated Metal Panels: Solid Walls by Day, Lanterns by Night

Day and night comparison of the same building. During the day, the exterior wall is a large expanse of dark gray perforated metal panels, with varying hole sizes that appear as a patterned solid volume from a distance. At night, the interior lights turn on, and light emanates from countless holes, transforming the entire building into a glowing lantern, with the gradient pattern of the holes reversing into light and dark. Avoid: using regular and uniformly sized perforations, allowing the interior to be clearly visible during the day, having only a few windows lit up at night, replacing the metal panels with ordinary glass curtain walls.

同一棟建築的日夜對照。白天,外牆是一整片深灰色的穿孔金屬板,孔洞的大小有漸變,遠看是有圖案的實體量體;入夜後室內燈亮起,光從無數孔洞透出,整棟變成發光的燈籠,孔洞的漸變圖案反轉成亮暗。避免:使用規則且大小一致的穿孔、讓白天就能清楚看見室內、入夜後只有幾扇窗亮、把金屬板換成普通玻璃帷幕。
