Color has always been a powerful tool in architecture: it can influence perceptions of space and form, convey meaning and intention, and guide the viewer’s sensory experience. How- ever, it has lost importance in architectural practice and teaching.With the volume Colors, the Graz-based research collective Diskursiv illustrates a mood in contemporary architecture’s use of color. The contributors approach the topic on a theo- retical level and, by stressing the potential impact of color, make an impassioned case for its return to the architectural discourse—against the dogma of the universal white box and for a rediscovery of color as a central instrument of architecture.
ISBN 9783986121365. JOVIS. pb. 384 pages. 150 colour & b/w ills. 12 x 18.5 cm.
