Color in Architecture

As James B. Jordan said, color is one of the important elements in architecture. "Color is inevitable except for blind people", which means that how to use color is important in buildings. People tend to acquire material knowledge through color, shape and texture, and color occupies the most important position. People can identify cities including culture through the color of the city. In addition, color functions in the architecture can not be ignored. It helps bring people convenient and fast lifestyle.

Colors are not necessarily consistent with architectural design. Historically, the artist's occupation covers everything, not just painting, sculpture, and architecture. Color is widely used in architecture because it wishes to worship God and the king or to celebrate the miracle of the building itself. Recently, the naked and neutral stone temple that the ancient Greeks thought was proved to have been painted with dark gemstone pigment. Medieval European cathedrals, Chinese palaces and temples were also filled with symbolic meaning of color.

Color is an essential element of our world, not only in the natural environment but also in artificial building environment. Color always plays an important role in human evolution. The environment and its color are perceived and the brain processes and judges it based on objective and subjective standards. Psychological influences, communication, information, and the impact on the heart are part of our recognition and judgment process. Therefore, the goal of color design in architectural space is not just decoration.

The basic concept of beauty is ancient and dates back to the era of Greek and Egyptian culture - important decorations, symmetry, proportions, architectural colors, everyday things, and important rituals like death, and gorgeous A god who travels with the deceased, such as a sarcophagus, protects her or the world from the danger of the world. To better understand this, I will talk about Stefan Sagmeister who recently discussed about beauty topics at the What Design Can Do event in Sao Paulo. He said that this is his current study, so he is not yet ready, but he showed us a little. He discovered that even in the unconscious mind human beings can recognize beauty. Just as we buy flowers for the dead, he raised the moment people bring beautiful pain. He also made several famous lists such as "the 10 most beautiful cities in the world". What is the basis for people to judge them?
