Color as a Marker, Not Decoration

An early modernist space where color serves a functional purpose, not decoration. Red marks a door, yellow marks a cabinet section that can be opened, blue marks a structural column; the placement of colors corresponds to the logic of use and construction, not arbitrary decorative distribution. Thus, one can understand how the space operates through color. The color blocks are flatly painted with clear boundaries. Avoid: arbitrarily painting colors on walls as decoration, using gradients and blending, making colors unrelated to function, creating irregular shapes for color blocks.

一個顏色具有功能的早期現代主義空間。紅色標示著一道門、黃色標示著一段可以打開的櫃、藍色標示著一根結構柱;顏色的位置對應著使用與構造的邏輯,不是隨意分佈的裝飾。因此人可以透過顏色理解空間怎麼運作。色塊都是平塗的、邊界清楚的。避免:把顏色隨意塗在牆面上當裝飾、使用漸層與暈染、讓顏色與機能無關、把色塊做成不規則的圖形。
