Emmanuelle Moureaux | Color as Facade: Layered Color and Street
Construct the building's facade and interior with abundant pure colors: dozens of colored panels arranged sequentially under cantilevered canopies, along the sides of openings, and on interior ceilings, forming a continuous rainbow gradient. Color is not decoration but a constitutive element of space—layered colors define depth, and the combination of colors seen by pedestrians constantly changes as they move. The volume itself is extremely simple, a white box with a deep horizontal canopy. Color appears only on specific surfaces, the rest remaining entirely white, thus strengthening the contrast. Daytime shot from a street diagonal, with layered colors overlapping in perspective. Avoid: colors evenly covering all surfaces, too few colors, complex building volume, use of low-saturation colors.

以大量的純色構成建築的立面與內部:數十種彩色的板片依序排列在懸挑的雨庇下、開口的側邊與內部的天花上,形成一道連續的彩虹漸層。顏色不是裝飾而是空間的構成元素——色彩的分層界定了深度,行人在移動時看見的顏色組合不斷變化。量體本身極為簡潔,白色的方盒加上一片深遠的水平雨庇。彩色只出現在特定的面上,其餘保持全白,對比因此更強。日間從街道斜角拍攝,彩色的分層在透視中疊合。避免:顏色平均塗滿所有面、色彩數量太少、量體本身複雜、彩色使用低飽和度。
