The objective of this training is to develop a methodology for using colour in architecture: from the initial approach to the purpose of colour in the architectural project, through the steps we will take to specify a COLOUR OR the definitive colour(s). We will apply this methodology to the SPECIFIC study of façades, analysing and studying various examples of colour, and the subsequent development of the student’s particular cases.

With a few exceptions, we know that in general we designers do not manage with ease in the world of colour. Our cities are acquiring shades that are far removed from the sensorial environments, whether historical or natural, or from an alternative, studied and creative chromaticity.  New buildings are moving around «non-colours» that could be rethought by giving alternative solutions that integrate the modern and current image with a more appropriate sensoriality, taking advantage of the new materials offered by the industry. The aim is therefore to mechanise and systematise a method for drawing up façade colour projects.

For example, if instead of the blacks and whites that flood buildings all over Spain, which are related to «the modern», discreet and elegant proposals were made for buildings in their façades and interiors that are related to the place and natural materials, we would achieve greater harmony and integration of the new architectures. On the other hand, with the use of ranges far removed from the natural surroundings that come from the pictorial world, we would «reinforce» the plastic character of the works. These are just two options among many others.
