The color in the architecture
The colors play their role in the course of a life, each color has their
importance and the colors as a whole help to assure a normal life, for that
reason we were not mistaken when saying that I stimulate created by a color I
specify responds to the whole organism, according to a scheme I specify the
constant vision of colors that fight between if, or the one of a scheme of
discordant colors with the feeling or taste, can produce the deplorable effects
in our authorized personnel; in you make and offices have been verified that the
efficiency of the worker, bureaucrat reduces or technician and increase the
absenteeism, and in the hospitals and clinics as they act aggravating or slowing
down the treatment of the ailments. The ambientation of the work places must
respond to norms that go beyond of the purely decorative thing, is due to
provide a scope that of a the worker a calm sensation, that facilitates its
concentration in its task and stimulates its efficiency and yield in the same
one. In order to obtain optimal situations the quality of the light (natural or
artificial) and the reflection must be considered that this grants to the
colored surfaces avoiding therefore the effects of glare.
The Maximum clarity comes to paint the flat sky of target. If
the floors and elements of equipment are relatively dark (they reflect between
25% and 40% of the light) the superior parts of the atmosphere must have a
capacity of reflection from 50% to 60%. The absence of contrast colors tires the
Vista soon after and is necessary to neutralize this possibility of fatigue,
considering that hard resistances in the field of view of the worker do not take
place with which their possibilities of vision diminish. The green one is an
industrial atmosphere color very used combined with blue tones. It suggests
tranquility, serenity; it gives rest to the eyes of those who work in interiors.
A bluish green atmosphere has good conditions of reflectance, but he appears
somewhat cold before the artificial light. The temperature of the atmosphere
must be resisted to do but comfortable psychologically the place of work,
therefore, if the same one is elevated must decide on the cold colors, (green,
blue) and to choose warm tonalities (peach tree, ivory, cream) if it is low
temperatures. Architectonic Exteriors. The architect is interested but in the
problems that to him the form creates that by those of the color, and resists to
admit that it is this I complete the one that animates and emphasizes the
construction, the one that creates an interest and requires the touching answer
of the spectator.
In the exteriors and facades the use of pure colors will be
always inconvenient in his but elevated intensity, these when very they are
saturated, have a character of primitive naiveté and are offensive for
sensitivity. The colors must be in relation to the atmosphere, with the form,
the region or location of the building and also with the structural qualities
and the sensation of weight, space, and distances; the color breaks all
impression of monotonies. The alive colors, single must be used in surfaces of
small dimensions and will have to be harmonized with the other colors and tones
of the set. The use of the color in the outside architecture cannot be oriented
by desire to create impressive a psychological reaction. It must be fit to the
qualities of the form, to which of it is wanted to obtain, to the qualities of
use or destiny of the construction and to the local climatic atmosphere. The
Color In The Home. The color is the factor but positive in the decoration of
interiors, because, as or we know, by their simple action dark rooms can be
clarified, to attenuate the overwhelming effect of very illuminated, to reduce
or to extend spaces, to rectify proportions, to warm up pieces you cold, to
refresh the warm ones and to give life to dull and the variety the singsong
thing. The color, ally with the light, is but the powerful generator of rest,
comfort and satisfaction; in the anxious and complex life of our time the home
is the oasis that offers calm to the spirit, calmness to the nerves and
relaxation to the physical body.
