INTERNATIONAL COLOUR DAY 2012

An exciting event which will take place at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark on May 11, 2012. Here you can listen to talks on how colour is used in our cities, in interiors, exteriors and in product design.

In exciting lectures, speakers will discuss interesting questions such as ownership of colour, organising colour, what leads the choice of colour when new products are launched, colour trends and much more. This day is dedicated to colour, gathering famous speakers who will share their experiences, thoughts and opinions on colour in architecture and design. The talks during the day aim to inspire and show how we are surrounded by colours. The architect Wim van den Bergh will explore a colourful part of the world, Mexico, and focus on the famous architect Luis Barragán’s way to direct architecture like a stage designer. By doing this he learnt to create an emotional architecture by means of space, light, colour, texture, material and other means which Wim van den Bergh will share. Barry Hughes is the Vice President of HOK, a worldwide organisation that offers the expertise for interior, exterior and landscape architecture. He will share some of his experiences from his diverse projects, such as train stations in Japan, master plans for major schemes in the Middle East and his passion to create dynamic architecture with a fundamental understanding of the urban realm. These are only some examples to highlight exciting talks during the day so register at latest on April 30, 2012 and experience a unique day filled with colour and inspiration, read
