This book explores the potential of colour to modify space and the way in which buildings are perceived. Drawing on examples from the 20th and 21st centuries, ranging from architectural icons to hidden gems, the volume presents six different strategies for working with colour in architecture. These are discussed on the basis of buildings in Berlin, Zurich and Edinburgh under the following titles: Painterly Promenade (Lux Guyer, Zurich) Tectonics Clarified (Basil Spence, Edinburgh) Immersive Pop (Rainer Rümmler, Berlin) Holistic Interplay (Hans Scharoun, Berlin) Hushed Tonalities (Reiach & Hall Architects, Edinburgh) Second Layer (Knapkiewicz & Fickert, Zurich)
