Atlas of Colour Reflection - 

“It is essential to an architect to know how to see: I mean, to see in such a way that the vision is not overpowered by rational analysis…” Luis Barragan

The Atlas of Colour elective honed my capacity to edit and arrange different elements to create a clear composition.

 I learnt to view colour within architecture on a different level – recognising its capacity to influence the experience of space.

Working with paint and ink allowed for the development of a new way of communicating architectural intent – one that is more abstract and expressional.

I discovered the importance of telling a story through visual communication and not simply through the written word.

I enjoyed producing something substantial and long-lasting. I found that I improved my artistic skills as the weeks went on. Throughout the project I developed a very graphic style that I hope to incorporate into subsequent presentations.
