What role does colour play in our built environment? How are our
attitudes to colour changing? What potential do new technologies
bring for the use of colour and light in architecture?
Combining real examples from practice with colour theory, this
book will help you to fully understand the role and impact of
colour in our urban spaces. Contributions from leading architects
Will Alsop, Legorreta and Legorreta, John Outram, Sauerbruch Hutton
and Neuterlings Riedijk accompany those from artists Alain Bony and
Yann Kersale, and from colour researchers such as Kristina Enberg
and Anders Hard, who developed the Natural Colour System. Topics
include:
- how and why we see colour
- methodologies in the documentation of traditional colours
- the development of new urban palettes
- recent colour psychology research
- the effect of light levels on human behaviour
- dramatic colour effects achievable with light
- guidelines for future deployment of colour in the built
environment.
This is a sequel to the immensely influential Colour for
Architecture, published in 1976. Much has changed in 30 years; new
cutting edge technologies and materials have emerged allowing
architects to experiment with colour and light in an energy
efficient and sustainable way, paving the way for a more colourful
and exciting built environment.
