Abstract
dc:description.abstractAn integral part of human vision is the perception of color through the reflection of light. At any moment the human eye is receiving a complex polychromatic reflection of its environment, and the human mind is perceiving many hundreds or thousands of colors. In architecture, light is often a primary consideration in a design, but color is rarely discussed. It makes its presence known, however, as the light entering into a building will carry with it the reflections of the environment. The elements of architecture appear quite different at varying times of the day; at varying times of the year. Even at the same time of day two walls painted the same color will appear as two different colors if placed in different light conditions. This thesis attempts to capture this phenomenon and elaborate on the possibilities of working with light through reflection. It is not meant to give a specific answer, but rather to show the results of a search to find a way of working with light through color.
