As early as 1850, urban color has become a part of the European urban planning profession. Appropriate color plans can be standardized through color analysis, providing urban symbolism and identification. With the evolution of cities, color has its own unique characteristics in each city. The color, shape and characteristics bring people different feelings.
Shingo Yoshida admitted: "Japanese cities have also gone through detours in the use of color. In the past, when we designed architectural color, we always considered more individual buildings, but ignored its matching and coordination with the surrounding environment." "Architecture In order to be unique, designers often use "violent colors" at the expense of destroying the overall landscape. The result of the popularity of this concept is to create a lot of color garbage and visual pollution."
In today's Japan, it is very unaccustomed to use fancy colors in architecture. Instead, they tend to choose colors that match the local environment, climate, and raw materials. For example, for a rural building near Tokyo, Japan, the architect will consider that the snow in this area is very thick in winter. Therefore, the slope of the roof should be designed to be very large and use gray tones. In this way, the light gray roof, mottled wooden doors and windows and the gray skyline are perfectly combined to achieve harmony in color.
Urban color refers to the color of various visual things in the city's external space. It is a broad and comprehensive concept. Some of it may come from natural environments such as mountains, rocks, forests, etc., but most of it comes from man-made buildings. Usually in new urban projects, certain specifications will be made for the materials and colors of buildings to achieve uniformity in appearance. There are also some international cities that use specific colors as a symbol of themselves, such as the orange of Rome and the famous blue city of Gadpur in India. In China, red is used as a symbolic color for architectural elements.
A city, a street, a corner, and an area construct the face of a city, and then become the memory of the city in the minds of people who visit. Color can be a language that conveys every detail of this land in a pure form. Color can also give a city its personality and make the city shine in a different light.
It is hoped that through the study of house plate design and the special colors of the community, and the connection between art and daily life, we can further build community identity and community identification, aiming to use color to connect community residents' resonance with the city. It can leave an eternal memory for this fleeting beauty and allow students to re-experience the beauty and creativity of the city.
