Book Description
A spectacular study of architectural color palettes around the world, from San Francisco to Yemen.
From the chromatic delicacy of bamboo roofs in China to the tangy-hued house facades created from mineral pigments
in African soils, the geography of color—a concept elaborated by Jean-Philippe and Dominique Lenclos—reveals a
habitat's color and architectural character by examining its geology, climate, light, and the sociocultural behavior
of its residents. 500 color photographs.
