Description

This title was first published in 2002. This really is a text that will fill a long-felt want.

A key figure in that history is Amedee Ozenfant, painter, critic and friend of Le Corbusier, who in the first half of this century founded a school in London where he conducted experiments and wrote about color in architecture.

Those experiments have been reconstructed for the book, which also includes reprints of his most important articles on the subject.

This book provides a fascinating survey of this most contemporary topic that will inspire and inform designers and architects.

Color has often been regarded as the final dressing of a building, subject to the vagaries of fashion and left to the client to select.

There have been a number of studies of polychromy in the architecture of the more distant past, particularly in relation to modern conservation practices, but there is little or nothing on the architectural color of recent times, and especially within Modernism.
