Chromatic integration of the architectural surfaces with environment: analysis and classification of case studies

This study has the proposal to complete a chromatic surveying of famous buildings by the means of common graphical instruments such as the pixel filter: a tool useful to identify the dominant tones that can be obtained from a photographic relief. Captured colors can be inserted in a diagram to classify their combinations: one dominant, two colors, three colors, four colors, contrast of light and dark, contrast of warm and cool colors, etc..These kind of studies would have to lead us to the definition of a table of chromatic harmonies and contrasts. The study means to consider all the elements of the context: sky, green, water, buildings etc, so as to be able to contemplate also the chromatic variants due to the change of the luminous or atmospheric conditions. Knowing that "varying the field of vision whichever chromatic manifestation can be obtained, just because seeing it is not never an objective fact, but it is participation, subjective interpretation" (Tornquist 1999).
