- Summary:
- Color is inextricably linked with architecture; as a design element and also as an inherent quality, it characterizes the shape and texture of the built fabric. The book presents extraordinary color schemes, both in terms of technology and aesthetics, for ground-breaking architecture with a wide spectrum of functions: from apartment to concert hall, from flagship store to city park.The focus is on the works of the three architects Frank O. Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Wang Shu. This is expanded by the works of other practices such as BIG, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Toyo Ito and SANAA.This publication presents a compendium that documents color schemes in architecture in the context of very different aesthetic approaches. The large-format photographs by Iwan Baan, Christian Richters, Roland Halbe and Philippe Ruault fascinate with their clarity and presence.
- Farbe ist unlösbar mit der Architektur verbunden - als Medium der Gestaltung, aber auch als eigene Qualität prägt sie Form und Textur des Gebauten.Das Buch präsentiert Farbgestaltungen avancierter Architektur, die in technologischer wie in ästhetischer Hinsicht außerordentlich sind, für ein breites Spektrum von Bauaufgaben: vom Apartment zur Konzerthalle, vom Flagship Store zum Stadtpark.Im Vordergrund stehen Werke der drei Architekten Frank O. Gehry, Jean Nouvel und Wang Shu. Erweitert wird das Spektrum durch Arbeiten anderer Büros wie beispielsweise BIG, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Toyo Ito und SANAA.Mit dieser Darstellung liegt ein Kompendium vor, das Farbgestaltung in der Architektur in sehr unterschiedlichen ästhetischen Auffassungen dokumentiert. Die großformatigen Fotografien von Iwan Baan, Christian Richters, Roland Halbe und Philippe Ruault faszinieren durch ihre Klarheit und Präsenz.
