In Full Colour: Recent Buildings and Interiors

Colour does not have to mean gaudy – the representative book demonstrates the different functions of colour in an architectural design. It supports the creation of atmosphere and space, provides orientation aid or contributes along with lighting effects to a special night ambience. The proven expert Dirk Meyhöfer, who has chosen about 70 projects from the last five years, provides background information, including the role of colour since the days of the Bauhaus.
