Summary:
Designers and architects have to make decisions regarding color every day. But how does one find the necessary inspiration? The appropriate color? How do other designers and artists deal with the issue? With "Chroma," the Greek word for color, as its title, this illustrated book provides answers to these questions and makes it clear that color is much more than mere decoration – it is one of the central problems of creative work. In the process, "Chroma" embraces the sensuous experience of color, inspiring and seducing the reader with unusual projects, from industrial products to color field painting. The book presents works by younger designers like Stefan Diez and Arik Levy as well as famous artists like Ellsworth Kelly. All of the works are presented in large-scale reproductions and also in a kind of color gradient, in which they are assigned to the chapters "monochromatic," "multichromatic," and "achromatic."

Future facades will become 3D displays. New developments in display technology, so called voxels, allow revolutionary architectural expressions. Whereas spatial expressions have been largely determined by the physical attributes of the building material, voxel displays will shift these borders.

Summary:
Andrinople, carmin, cramoisi, écarlate, pourpre, rubis... rouge cardinal, Carpaccio, Dior, Ferrari, opéra, Valentino... rouge baiser, glamour... ruban rouge, la Butte rouge, Julie la Rousse, le Petit Chaperon rouge, l'Oeuvre au rouge... Rouge comme l'amour, le feu, l'érotisme, rouge de colère et rouge de honte, rouge de l'enfer et du diable, des guerres, de la violence et des révolutions. Rouge comme le sang du Christ qui purifie et comme la pourpre des empereurs. Rouge comme la gloire et comme le triomphe. Au fil des mots, le rouge, couleur ambivalente entre toutes, déploie ses jeux d'associations symboliques, oscillant d'un contraire à l'autre, mêlant le profane au sacré, la jouissance à l'effroi, l'ardeur à l'interdiction, le désir de purification au tabou de la chair. Couleur sensuelle et terrifiante à la fois, témoignage des contradictions de l'âme humaine et miroir de notre société contemporaine. Préface de Sonia Rykiel.

Summary:
Black has always stood for powerfully opposed ideas: authority and humility, sin and holiness, rebellion and conformity, wealth and poverty. In this illustrated book, the acclaimed author of Blue now tells the fascinating social history of the color black in Europe. For Pastoureau, the history of any color must be a social history first because it is societies that give colors everything from their changing names to their changing meanings--and black is exemplary in this regard. In dyes, fabrics, and clothing, and in painting and other art works, black has always been a forceful--and ambivalent--shaper of social, symbolic, and ideological meaning in European societies. With its striking design and compelling text, Black will delight anyone who is interested in the history of fashion, art, media, or design.

Summary:
Examining the evolving place of green in art, clothes, literature, religion, science, and everyday life, Michel Pastoureau traces how culture has profoundly changed the perception and meaning of the color over millennia—and how we misread cultural, social, and art history when we assume that colors have always signified what they do today.

Summary:
DETAIL Practice "Colour" provides the expertise that every architect working with colour needs, covering colour theory and the laws of colour harmony through the basics of colour perception and colour's effects, and up to strategies for developing consistent colour concepts in the design process. Colours in the city and country, historic observations on the culture of colour, facts on colour's main spatial effects, its materiality, on the influence of light and colour on design, and on colour schemes and systems round out the book's theoretical section. Examples of colour use in interiors and on exteriors in various international projects highlight successful instances of colour design and provide inspiration for readers' own work.
