Last week's lecture was about color and its important role in architecture.
Often our mood gets affected by colors and it is influenced by.Even the way we see certain things is affected by color.
Facts show that the ancient egyptians chinese indians believed in chromo therapy .
Now days we can say that a lot of fields use color for their benefit such as brands --color plays an important role in marketing.
There are lot of examples such as painting which for sure have colors,but what is the difference between this work of art with architecture?
Well in paintings colors fade with the time and it hasn't the same value but this does not happen in architecture.
There are some main attributes of color that help experience architecture.What's interesting to this is that color can emphasize the character of the building,it can accentuate form or material etc.
Also its worth mentioning that there is a very important connection between color and material because we do not experience color independently but according to the characteristics of the material.
Originally color was produced by nature but that it became controlled even by man
THIS WAS A NEW STEP IN ARCHITECTURE DESIGN-making materials more durable
Something more interesting is that color can by regarded as a symbol depending in different cultures.(the temple of heaven-blue roofs or Peking-bright colors for palaces ritual buildings )
We often mention worm or cold colors and these are seen differently in daylight or we can apply pale colors in a small room and warms tones in a cold one ( german theorist )
Conclusion:color like many other architectural elements cannot be defined ,but it can be used to make architecture more clear and help architects to express powerfully what they want to say.
I thinks color is a much need element to experience architecture since it gives charecter to the space that is being designed.
