Using Color Design to “Move” Your Occupant (Slideshow)
| |
How do you use color to “move” your occupant? Do you go beyond merely using it as a wayfinding technique? Or do you “paint” your three-dimensional space to lead your occupant on a journey that enhances the spirit of place?
As you will find within the following slideshow, color can be used within architecture in soul-stirring and innovative ways. Color not only engages a building occupant by making real the beauty of function, but also invites them “in” to truly “touch” a space — perhaps at first with their eyes, but then with all of their senses as color becomes much more when it meets the eye.
So, how do you use color to “move” your building occupants?
-
- By color coding ducts to reveal a building’s climate, electrical, plumbing and circulation arteries.
-
- By filtering and layering light to bring spirit to a place.
-
- By bringing unity and community to individual living spaces.
-
- By bringing “life” to meaningful memories.
-
- By allowing their eyes to “touch” a surface in ways their other senses cannot.
-
- By revealing the beauty of fluidity and rhythm.
-
- By mathematically coding the meeting of music, sculpture and a culture’s differing demographics.
