THE NEXT CHAPTER IN BUILDING FACADES
Sam Spencer, Specification Manager at Benx Façades, explores the factors behind the growing use of colourful cladding in the modern built environment.
With colour being such a powerful tool in the world of building design, why should it be reserved solely for interior schemes? Used correctly, it can be invaluable for building exteriors, helping to create a clear sense of place and identity.
As well as being nice to look at, colour has been proven to have a very real impact on our moods and emotions, impacting how we interact with and experience our environment. Used correctly, colour can trigger a host of different responses in people, from the calming effects of blues and greens to the more energetic reds and yellows. By understanding the different feelings each colour can inspire, architects and specifiers can ensure that the selected palette complements and enhances the desired mood for a building.
