Caring About Colour in Architecture
Event Information
About this event
Colour plays such an important role in the way that we respond to space. Different tones and hues are linked to certain emotions and memories, which can either heighten our awareness or calm us down. This is a basic concept but architects have had an uneven relationship with the different methods of using colour in buildings, both inside and out.
The reticence to experiment is changing as designers - both established and emerging - are now embracing bold patterns and wild decorative techniques that pick up on a wide range of styles and cultural heritage. Social media has demonstrated that people are drawn to bright and quirky spaces that can enliven shared experiences.
As part of the London Festival of Architecture programme, The Museum of Architecture and Axalta will bring together some of the recent proponents of using colour in the built environment to share techniques and celebrate the joy of creating kaleidoscopic and vibrant environments.
Confirmed speakers include:
Zaha Hadid Design
Studio Aki
SODA Studio
AHMM

Organiser of Caring About Colour in Architecture
Museum of Architecture (MoA) is a charity dedicated to finding new ways to engage the public with architecture and to encourage entrepreneurship in the architectural industry.
MoA provides opportunities for architects to collaborate with other industries and communities to become better informed about the places and people for which they are designing.
MoA has been a pop-up museum since 2006 and positions itself as a place where people come to learn about architecture through exhibitions, events, talks, and public installations. MoA’s programming provides insightful information for both the public and architects alike, linking architecture to contemporary culture to make it accessible to all.
