COLOR IN SPACEThe choice to feature color as a focal point in architecture makes it
own bold statement. This title demonstrates how color enhances and
contextualizes the environment of the projects within. The visual
language of color can communicate symbols, status, spirit, strength, and
a sense of purpose, and its new applications to buildings represent a
great leap in the discipline of architecture. Brighten it Up promises to
be a standard work on the subject that every architect and
architectural office will want to have handy in their library, as well
as anyone involved in outdoor design or urban planning. The brilliantly
colored examples in the book range from modest to the sublime, from
ordinary to fabulously whacked-out structures. The volume also included
drawings and plans for the professional, as well as bizarre structures
that will appeal to architecture junkies. |
