Summary:
The interaction between color and architecture determines our perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design and communication means which, however, are often not fully used ? color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its interaction with structure, light, and geometry.

Summary:
The book discusses the role of art in architecture with a particular focus on colour and the dynamic relationships between light, form, material surface, space and movement. Drawing on historical examples to establish recurring themes, it examines the work of artists and architects whose use of colour is informed by artistic practice. It is divided into three main sections: the first focusing on architecture, the second on the artworks and the final section on collaboration. Throughout, it bridges time, comparing historic artworks and spaces with contemporary ones, addressing key questions such as ''if an artwork is self-sufficient, how is this accommodated within an architectural setting without compromising both?'' and setting out examples of what does and doesn’t work.

Summary:
The colour black is considered by many as a simple expression of darkness and gloom, indeed as a non-colour or the mere absence of light. In actuality however, like no other colour it stands for entire conditions of the soul, for the immense wealth of cultural-historical connotations, which evokes the most opposing of associations: Malewitsch's black square, a black hole, black riders, the black widow, black magic, black sheep, black box or black beauty - black stands for the traditional and the modern, for reduction and for opulence, for deprivation and for exoticism, for eccentricity and for elegance, for gravity, etc.

Summary:
One of the most influential books on colour ever published. Originally issued in 1963 as a limited-edition set of commentary and 150 silkscreened colour plates, the book introduced generations of students, artists, designers, and collectors to Albers' unique approach to complex principles. While the original publication has long been out of print, this beautiful new edition now brings Interaction back into classrooms, studios, and on to bookshelves. Lavishly produced as a two-volume slipcased set, this book replicates Albers' revolutionary exercises, explaining concepts such as colour relativity and vibrating and vanishing boundaries through the use of colour, shape, die-cut forms, and movable flaps that illustrate his astonishing demonstrations of the changing and relative nature of colour. Also included for the first time are new studies from the Albers archive, produced by the artist's students in the early 1960s.
