Dept. of Architecture Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Architecture Architecture Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1992. Includes bibliographical references (p. 77). I have always been interested in painting, particularly in the use of color to describe space, time and emotion. This thesis integrates painterly concepts in the making of architecture. Some issues explored include color complementarity, material color, and the expressive use of color in the design process. By thinking of color a<; I design I endeavor to enhance the habitable experience and enable color to actively generate the creation of architecture. The vehicle for color study is the design of a pedestrian bridge in Tacoma Washington. The focus is to produce several schemes exploring color and material and its sequencing along the bridge. The programmatic scope is constrained to maximize issues of color and form making. The design used various media to visualize the design and explore two color systems. Additive color systems lead to painting, pastels, colored pencil, and plaster casting. The computer facilitated image processing, geometrical modelling, and color/ texture mapping in a "subtractive" color system. by Mark C. Buchanan.
