Farbkultur und Handwerk in Schweizer Regionen / Culture de la couleur et artisanat régional en Suisse

The researchers at the Institute at the Haus der Farbe are investigating regional characteristics of craftsmanship and colour in Swiss construction. The diverse stories they have uncovered tell of the wealth of regional colours and craft techniques. In this book, the basics and implementation of handcrafted color design are clearly explained. The introduction features colour maps that showcase the colour tone and range of cities or regions and can serve as a starting point for individual colour design. Some chapters focus on traditional surface materials such as timber or stone, others focus on the use of colour, for example, the chapters on lime and contrast.
