Description
This issue focuses on the importance of colour in architecture and presents examples of the effects of the use of colour. It presents the architects who have taken a stance against the abolition of colour and promote the use of colour as a major feature of their work. Influenced by their culture, many of the examples include Spanish and South American architects and feature Ricardo Legoretta, Miguel Angel Roca, Enric Miralles, as well as Arata Isozaki, Bernard Tschumi and Richard Rogers.
