The interaction between color and architecture determines our
perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The
fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered
dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design
and communication means which, however, are often not fully used -
color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and
should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as
part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects
and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and
its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the
spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its
interaction with structure, light, and geometry.
The building shell is the interface with the outside world: it
offers protection and at the same time represents its owners or
occupants. But what are the criteria for choosing a specific shell?
Why is a particular material used on a particular undercoat? The
second volume of the SCALE series, Enclose - Build, is not about
the curtain, the dressing of the facade that surrounds a building,
but rather on a causal level about the exterior termination of a
building, the wall, the facade, which can be made of various
materials, surfaces and achieves different design effects. The book
shows the conditions under which certain constructions can be
employed and why; what criteria such as construction costs, issues
of sustainability, of energy efficiency, of assembly or of
insulation or protection against moisture can also influence the
choice of a system. In addition to classical constructions, Enclose
- Build offers a look at future developments. How will the facade
evolve as an interface for information? What do viable concepts for
environmentally active, energy-efficient building shells look like?
This book is an indispensable tool for every architect and planner.
