How do architects use color? Do they adopt a different strategy or
starting point for every project? Do they gradually cultivate
individual color palettes, which develop alongside their body of
built work? Do they utilize, or are they aware of, the body of
theoretical work that underpins the use of color in the past, and
forms the basis of most of the color systems commercially available
today? Informed by the author's thirty years in architectural
practice and academia, this book investigates, documents and
analyzes the work of a number of contemporary architects in order
to respond to these questions and provide a clear reference of
contemporary color use. The book suggests a holistic approach to
the integration of color in architecture; through a series of
thematic essays, the text explores and reveals underlying
principles in color design and application. Case studies include:
AHMM Caruso St John Erich Wiesner and Otto Steidle Gigon/Guyer
O'Donnell + Tuomey Sauerbruch Hutton Steven Holl UN Studio. The
book provides clear insights into how particular contemporary
architects use color confidently and intelligently as an integral
part of their design philosophy, in conjunction with their choices
of materials and finishes. Offering a stimulating view of the
history of color theory, and pragmatic advice to practicing
architects, this book will be inspiring to both design
professionals and students.
