Book Description

Architecture in Detail November 1, 2004
This installment in RockportÆs Architecture in Detail series, Colors looks at how color plays a role in even the most upscale architectural designs. The series itself examines the role of details in contemporary architecture through the work of many emerging and established practitioners whose projects speak sensitively and energetically on a small scale. Color is just another one of those details architects use to put their own individual stamps on their creations.

Like the preceding books in the series, Materials, Elements, and Spaces, Colors is designed by Oscar Riera Ojeda. Each book presents even the smallest architectural detail in lavish photographs by acclaimed photographer Paul Warchol, and an introductory essay by Mark Pasnick positions the images within a historical and conceptual framework.

Whether you are an architect or simply appreciate fine design, youÆll want to page through this book time and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explores the work of top architects and interior designers, March 14, 2005
This review is from: Architecture in Detail: Colors (Hardcover)
The third volume in the "Architecture in Detail" series, Colors: Architecture in Detail explores the work of top architects and interior designers working today. Especially focusing on the form/color duality, Colors is filled cover to cover with beautiful photographs illustrating rooms and exteriors based around the impact of various colors: white, black, red, blue, yellow, brown, gray, green, and polychrome. Paragraph highlights draw attention to specific details, but the majority of Colors focuses squarely upon the almost dreamlike images themselves. A truly captivating volume simply to page through.
