Color Communication in Architectural Space

By Gerhard Meerwein

A guide to color concepts

Colors are an element of both the natural and the
man-made environments. They convey messages of all kinds and perform a
wide variety of functions, informing, organizing, warning. But they also
serve an aesthetic purpose, affecting the statement, effect, and
acceptance of objects and spaces.

While people's reactions to
color vary widely, in design questions it is still possible to establish
generally valid color concepts to match the expectations of the various
groups of users. This book offers a guide based on a wide range of
scientific findings and may be consulted as an authoritative reference
by the architecture student and the professional alike.

The three
editors, Dr. B. Rodeck, Prof. G. Meerwein, and F. H. Mahnke have taught
for many years at the Salzburger Seminare f r Farbe und Umwelt der
IACC.
