Book excerpt: "Birren presents a kaleidoscopic view of color information that has been a source of fascination." -- Color Research and Application "Keeps up with the latest developments in biology and psychology where light and color are involved." -- AIA Journal Here is a major work by one of the best-known color authorities in the world. Faber Bitten pioneered in the field of "functional" color, using color properties to promote human welfare psychologically, visually, and physiologically; in this volume he has assembled a wealth of information on the subject. Color and Human Response offers intriguing factual and hypothetical observations on the influences of color in life, supported by historical references and the latest scientific data. Birren explores the biological, visual, emotional, aesthetic, and psychic responses to color -- referring both to ancient symbolic uses of color as well as its application in the modern environment. His specifications for color in homes, offices, hospitals, and schools are geared toward relieving modem tensions and anxieties. Complete with drawings, color photographs, and a chapter on the personal meaning of color preferences, Color and Human Response will fascinate anyone concerned with the human environment, including scientists and psychologists. It has become a basic reference for architects, teachers, and interior and industrial designers.
Download or read book Color for Architects Architecture Brief written by Juan Serra Lluch and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As far back as the earliest Greek temples, color has been an integral part of architecture but also one of its least understood elements. Color theory is rarely taught in architecture schools, leaving architects to puzzle out the hows and whys of which colors to select and how they interact, complement, or clash. Color for Architects is profusely illustrated and provides a clear, concise primer on color for designers of every kind. This latest volume in our Architecture Briefs series combines the theoretical and practical, providing the basics on which to build a fuller mastery of this essential component of design. A wealth of built examples, exercises, and activities allows students to apply their learning of color to real-world situations.
Download or read book The Visual Nature of Color written by Patricia Sloane and published by Tab Books. This book was released on 1989 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important scholarly study, Patricia Sloane surveys the history of theories about color and challenges readers--students and instructors of art and art history, artists and designers, and those concerned with color in other fields such as science, philosophy, and industry--to rethink their beliefs about color from the simplest level. Suggesting that the ways in which color has been viewed since the nineteenth century are, at best, inomplete, she discusses Color and Language, Color and Light, Color and Form, Color and Culture, Color and Theory. Sloane asks: are the concepts of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors significant? Are color harmony and complementarity meaningful notions? How is our perception of color limited by the words we use to describe it? What is the relationship between color and light? Between color and form? Between color and vision? --book jacket.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Industry written by Alexandra Loske and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Industry covers the period 1800 to 1920, when the world embraced color like never before. Inventions, such as steam power, lithography, photography, electricity, motor cars, aviation, and cheaper color printing, all contributed to a new exuberance about color. Available pigments and colored products - made possible by new technologies, industrial manufacturing, commercialization, and urbanization – also greatly increased, as did illustrated printed literature for the mass market. Color, both literally and metaphorically, was splashed around, and became an expressive tool for artists, designers, and writers. Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture and interiors; and artefacts. Alexandra Loske is Curator at the Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton, UK Volume 5 in the Cultural History of Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf
