ark - Finnish Architectural Review 4/2024 (Finnish/English): COLOUR
This special issue on colour design includes the inspiring article “Short Syllabus in Colour Research” by SG ECD member, landscape architect and colour researcher Saara Pyykkö from Helsinki, Finland. This issue addresses the topic of colour from the perspective that colour has always been an intrinsic feature of architecture, which has its own long and manifold traditions independent of developments in the visual arts.This issue also contains four interviews with architect Suvi Tyynilä, architectural lighting designer Roope Siiroinen, professor of architectural practice Pentti Kareoja, and colour and materials designer Anni Rantasalo, as well as several projects along with other articles and reviews.
