Reviews
'Understanding architectural space from the perspective of light and colour is an enriching experience. There have been no other books that describe colour and light dynamics in a spatial context. Colour and Light: Spatial Experience should be required reading for both designers and academics alike.' - Galen Minah, Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, College of Built Environments, University of Washington, Seattle WA, USA. 'This is going straight onto my list of books that I recommend to students of design. Separate chapters deal with light sources, paint, the specification of colour and the visual characteristics of materials, but it all comes together at the end. Rather as Einstein introduced the new concept of space/time to physics, here we have the synthesis of space/light/colour.' - Dr Paul Green-Armytage, Associate of Curtin University, Past President of the Colour Society of Australia. 'Colour and Light: Spatial Experience establishes a milestone in the knowledge that cannot be missed in the library of anyone involved in colour and light.' - Prof. Arch. Pietro Zennaro, Iuav University of Venice, Italy.
