Color in Architecture

This is the most amazing door I have ever seen ... colored slides with pantone colors...just lovely.  I found this on the Design Sponge blog (Design Sponge). the photograph was taken by Ingrid Heiss.  It is from the house of Armin Blasbichlerin in South Tyrol in Northern Italy.

Armin Blasbichlerin is an architect in Germany- http://www.arminblasbichler.com/

Of course, as I started thinking about the light coming through the door - I realized that light is about color and color changes with the quality of light.

More to come..

Venice Color

I have this photograph as my desktop background and was sitting staring at it for awhile this evening and noticed this section of the photograph where colored window openings were noticeable as an interesting grid of cool tones.

While I tend to think of Italian colors as reds, oranges and browns - this section was noticeable for its canal hues of blue and green.
