Architectural Light and Color

"Color is one of the most influential design tools one can use to express a feeling. As a colorist, it is my job to interpret, translate,
then communicate the architectural intent. Color and light enhance and accentuate the beauty of the materials being used.
"Each color elicits a physical and psychological response; so color can amplify an emotional experience,
both positively or negatively, depending on how it is used in architecture.
The message between color and architecture must be unified to work harmoniously both visually and emotionally.
"Selecting colors for a space is a deeply analytical process. I must consider what the space being used for, who is using the space,
what is the style of the people occupying the space, - sophisticated, casual, young, classic, cheerful, cozy etc.
"I also consider room size and navigation views, the direction and quantity of incoming light, the exterior and interior reflections and influences,
the type of light, and the architectural lighting, among others.I consider myself a translator of light, color and form.
