This is a unique volume that brings together the three fundamental themes relating to the sensory effects of contemporary architecture. Light, colour, and sound are the three elements in architecture today capable of generating the greatest sensorial impact. Advanced technologies have made possible new ways of integrating colour as well as lighting and acoustics into buildings, transforming them into veritable mechanisms of interaction within their context and the people who use them. This volume concentrates on these elements and explores the conceptual, aesthetic and technical implications of their application in architecture and of their integration into the very structures of the building themselves. Each featured building is case-studied to determine the ways in which these sensory effects have been put into practice and special emphasis is given to the construction details by provision of detailed technical plans.
