Introduction

Abstract

This revised version places greater emphasis on the communicative value of color in architectural space, with a focus on the physiological, psychological, and neuropsychological aspects, as well as the relationships of visual ergonomics. Fashions and trends in color are excluded, as the publication concentrates on substantive references to color in architecture and interior design. The significance of the materials used in color design is an important new aspect. The book aims to sharpen our awareness of differentiated architectural and interior architectural objectives, and to convey a fundamental knowledge of the presence and effect of color and applied color psychology. The spatial environments that are formative to people’s main areas of life are analyzed here. Chapters 1–10 in. Color: Communication in Architectural Space present today’s general knowledge as the basis for all design that uses color, and chapter 11 describes examples in practice.
