Architecture for Kids 3 - Horacio Sanchez - Bog

Color in Architecture is used to embellish, decorate, separate, and define spaces, and to transmit and generate different sensations. The selection and effect of color in architecture is based on aesthetics (the nature of beauty and taste), social, and cultural factors. In Architecture for Kids 1, I showed you how architects develop ideas from single forms like squares, rectangles, circles, or even triangles. I also explained how textures, and light play with other elements to create designed spaces like buildings, parks or plazas, cities, or landscapes. In Architecture for Kids 2, we analyzed spaces as main components of design as well as some standard and recommended dimensions of rooms, and furniture. In this book, color is analyzed through a visual learning style that will help you to understand the impact and effect of color in architecture and people's emotions.
