From Publishers Weekly,A fascinating book for architects, designers and urban planners, this volume uses more than 600 color photographs to demonstrate how each country, each region, each city and village employs a unique color palette for its buildings. According to the Lencloses, whose book Colors of France received the International Color Design Award of 1983-4, these colors are derived both from a region’s environment and its culture. Certainly, the visual argument for these conclusions is compelling: the chrome green house of Russia’s Suzdal are markedly different from the sand-colored dwellings of Alegria, and both of these areas eschew the ochre pinks of Rajasthan, India, and the blacks of New York’s Greenwich Village. Though the authors’ dense, jargon-filled captions will probably interest only specialists, their photographs should appeal to a wider audience.,Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
