Atlas of Colour

(click to enlarge)

Atlas of colour was a rich exploration of how colour is composed in a physical sense, especially through mixing different amounts of paint and pigments to provide 'unique' colours, that could be used as a central theme throughout the atlas. Colour can have a profound impact on architectural representations, because it appeals to emotions so strongly. an interesting exerecise was voicing the emotions we felt fit with different colours. Colour is often a negelcted aspect in representation, but can hold the power to either make or break a representation. Composing the tunnel in the final atlas was most enjoyable, as it allowed for a spatial progression to be synthesised, and helped me btter visualise in 3d. Thinking of a space as differing progressive planes helped pick out important features of spaces, as well as how colour can convery depth and space. whilst my modelled space was quite basic, the oppurtunity for this technique to be used for other spaces is vast. The overall composition of the atlas as an exploration of different exercises was also enjoyable, and allowed me to think outside the norm when it comes to presenting my own work.
