Color in the past, present and future
DETAIL Practice “Colour” provides the expertise that every architect working with colour needs, covering colour theory and the laws of colour harmony through the basics of colour perception and colour’s effects, and up to strategies for developing consistent colour concepts in the design process. Colours in the city and country, historical observations on the culture of colour, facts on colour’s main spatial effects, its materiality, on the influence of light and colour on design, and on colour schemes and systems round out the book’s theoretical section. Examples of color use in interiors and on exteriors in various international projects highlight successful instances of color design and provide inspiration for readers own work.
