Architect and Color

For my architect inspiration I chose Gert Wingårdh, a Swedish architect. His firm is Wingårdh Arkitektkontor, and they have designed some pretty amazing buildings utilizing bright, vibrant color.

The Emporia shopping center from different angles can look like a completely different structure. Lighting is also used brilliantly.

I really like the Kuggen Building because it looks really cool, but the wide use of red is still complemented with the other colors. This reminded of what Professor Murphy was talking about in class yesterday of using one main color and adding other complementary colors to it.

I am particularly partial to the Tower on the Ting because I love shipping container structures, and this one gives me a strong sense of that.
