Features: This book lists the analysis and insights of three architectural masters—Rem Koolhaas's OMA, Norman Foster, and Alexander Deemer Mendini—on color. It selects the essence of their works over decades and fully demonstrates their understanding of color through case studies. After each master presents their views, it includes "30 Colors," which reflects their unique personalities and provides a rare opportunity to compare their styles. The three international masters—Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, and Alessandro Mendini—stand at the forefront of contemporary architecture and design, discussing the concepts, applications, and future development of color in contemporary design in three different ways. Based on their own understanding of color, each master selects 30 of the most representative colors. Through the voices of like-minded architects, their own design practices, or by referencing various literature, they fully showcase the important role of color in contemporary design, painting a vibrant color tapestry and inspiring us to more actively focus on and use color in our research and practice, expressing our understanding of design and the world through color.
