Color for Architects
Softcover | 17.65 x 2.03 x 21.46 cm | 192 pp
Princeton Architectural Press | 2019 | 9781616897949
As far back as the earliest Greek temples, colour has been an integral part of architecture but also one of its least understood elements. Colour theory is rarely taught in architecture schools, leaving architects to puzzle out the hows and whys of which colours to select and how they interact, complement, or clash.
Color for Architects is profusely illustrated and provides a clear, concise primer on colour for designers of every kind, combining the theoretical and practical, providing the basics on which to build a fuller mastery of this essential component of design. A wealth of built examples, exercises, and activities allows students to apply their learning of colour to real-world situations.
