ABSTRACT

The research is about how the various characteristics of color affect the environment and people’s emotions. The study from Steelcase company and the case from the renovation of Post-World War II Italy Building can serve as our theoretical support. When we chose the color of the house, we not only referred to Marion Boddy-Evans’s mother color theory but also paid tribute to classic Mondrian color scheme. For human, color will influence their psychology and show on daily behavior. Also, our study tries to create a relaxed living space through analyzing the color from three variables. To improve the happiness of building, external outlook becomes the key part that we borrow some ideas from the study of Piet Cornelies Mondrian’s artwork. With more Lego elements adding into building, we hope to bring more innocence of childhood into adult’s life to release people’s mental pressure. From the perspective of a lodger, the pellucidity of color could provide an effective way to make the surrounding environment and the building better integrated. As a result, we realized how vibrant color may amplify the brightness under natural circumstances and less resemble the color of real architecture. Color could transmit information like language, and they should be organized humanely and scientifically. In fact, color in architecture has become a permanent question that is worth investigating continuously to achieve color harmony.
