RED ON RED (PO22, 871-876)

This project is based on a garden proposal for Les Jardins de Metis in Grand-Metis, Quebec, Canada. The garden borrows its idea from Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color and serves as framework to experience perception and sensation, colour and light. The objective of this study is to demonstrate: The Interaction of Color is valuable architecturally and aesthetically and in terms of performance. The effect of colour can be increased without changing people’s perceptions of the colour in the space, by applying the interaction of colour with the larger built environment in nature or within larger fields. This project is part of a larger research on Colour reflectivity and Daylight. Colour reflectivity is valuable not only architecturally and aesthetically but also in terms of performance. The higher the reflectivity of a space the more evenly light is distributed in the space. Reflectivity can improve the performance of a building’s system and also increases the occupants’ sense of well-being.
