An indispensable resource for professionals seeking to understand how colorful buildings can animate their environs and engage their users.

One of the most appealing trends to emerge in contemporary design is the use of bold colors and patterns inside and outside buildings. Nineteen of the most exciting examples from around the world are presented in detail in this book, which focuses on the dramatic effect of color when used in facades, interior surfaces, and elements. Projects from leading architects include Alsop Architects' The Public in West Bromwich, Jean Nouvel's Agbar Tower in Barcelona, and Richard Rogers's Terminal 4 in Madrid.

Vital reading for architects and architecture students, this is a key resource for understanding how the world's most innovative buildings are designed.

Library Journal Review

Edited and produced by Italian architecture journal The Plan and originally published in Britain in 2010, this book is clearly aimed at practicing architects-the title reads true. It shows 20 recent, mostly European, mostly commercial or public projects in full-page color, with substantial emphasis on construction details and materials. Each project has a page of text about the building and its program, and there are general plans for most. Two two-page introductions, "Colour in Contemporary Architecture" and "Architecture and Colour," provide only two-sentence introductions to each of the projects included. VERDICT This would be a useful visual book for architecture school collections; however, the binding is easily damaged.-Jack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Libs. (c) Copyright 2011.
