SYN-TES INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ON COLOUR AND LIGHT

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Colour and light have largely been considered as belonging to two different fields of knowledge, having disparate theoretical, terminological and methodological traditions. This creates a ground for misunderstandings and obstructs a fruitful interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration. A survey over international research literature from 2006 -2011 shows that there has been only little research on the spatial interaction between colour and light, but that the interest for this area has recently increased. The interdisciplinary Nordic research project SYN-TES: Human colour and light synthesis. Towards a coherent field of knowledge was carried out during 2010-11. Colour and light experts from Nordic universities and companies investigated different aspects of the spatial interaction between colour and light and its importance for human beings. This paper deals with the general learnings from the process. Specific results are presented in other papers at this conference.

PERCIFAL: Visual analysis of space, light and colour
- 2011

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper addresses the need for better and more accurate methods of recording and analyzing the visual experience of architectural space. PERCIFAL (Perceptive Spatial Analysis of Colour and Light) is an ongoing project that aims at developing a method of analysis that can capture coherent spatial experiences of colour and light. The starting point for PERCIFAL is a method of visual evaluation of space and light, developed by Professor Anders Liljefors at the former department of architectural lighting at KTH Architecture. PERCIFAL is based on direct visual observations and the recording of these observations by verbal-semantic descriptions using a questionnaire. It has been developed primarily as an educational tool, but we see in it potential for a design tool for professionals as well as for an analytical method for research. The first test results, conducted in Sweden, Norway and Finland, show that the method has significant pedagogical merits and that it allows interesting comparisons between physical measurements and visual experiences of space, light and colour.

Colour in the Pompeiian cityscape : Manifestations of status, religion, traffic and commerce
- 2018

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research on colour in Roman Pompeii has so far dealt almost exclusively with interiors. As part of a larger project on Pompeii's urban space this study deals with the exterior colours of facades and pavings. Using as source material the existing remains of the town, excavation reports and artistic and other reproductions, we have tested the hypothesis that the colour character exhibited in the well-known and colourfully illustrated findings of Vittorio Spinazzola is also valid for the rest of the town. This hypothesis was supported for some streets and clearly contradicted for others. We have found certain patterns regarding colour and status, function and traffic and identified a number of typically different colour characters for different types of streets.

Colour Research with Architectural Relevance : How Can Different Approaches Gain from each Other?
- 2010
-
In: Color Research and Application. - : Wiley. - 0361-2317 .- 1520-6378. ; 35:2, s. 145-152

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Colour research from different scientific traditions start from different basic questions and use different methods and concepts. This makes it difficult to communicate and to Judge result relevance in a wider perspective. Here we start from architects' need of colour knowledge and discuss recent studies of colour appearance and colour emotion, with and without explicit connection to architecture. We stress the need for further development and clarification of concepts and conclude that the multitude of studies With different approaches con be seen os cases, jointly adding to a widened and deepened understanding of colour.

Den rymliga gråheten : om färg, ljus och rum
- 2008
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Arbetet har innefattat ett antal observationsserier med det dubbla syftet att utforska gråhetens föränderlighet i olika betraktningssituationer och att utveckla metodik och utrustning för sådana studier. Dessa observationer presenteras i textens bilagor. Huvudtexten utgör en essä som diskuterar gråhetens rumsliga verkan utifrån litteratur och våra egna observationer. En fråga som har visat sig mycket betydelsefull är det vi har kallat vitprincipen, alltså vårt synsinnes tendens att uppfatta en färg i synfältet som vit och att relatera uppfattningen av andra färger till detta. I det nu genomförda arbetet har vi undersökt vitprincipens betydelse för uppfattningen av gråaktiga färger, och vi hoppas att i kommande projekt kunna undersöka även dess betydelse för uppfattning av färger med större kulörthet.

LJUS- OCH FÄRGBEGREPP och deras användning
- 2012
-
Reports (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Det tvärvetenskapliga projektet SYN-TES. Människa, färg och ljus. Syntetisering för ett sammanhållet kunskapsfält har pågått på Konstfack under 2010-2011, med finansiering från KK-stiftelsen (ref. nr 2009/0195). Projektet har omfattat ett femtontal nordiska färg- och ljusspecialister från företag och olika akademiska discipliner. I anslutning till detta har det genomförs ett antal delprojekt kring avgränsade frågeställningar. Detta delprojekt har behandlat begreppsbildning och terminologi kring färg och ljus, där förekomsten av konkurrerande traditioner ofta leder till missförstånd och försvårar kunskapsupp- byggnaden. Delprojektet i sin helhet publiceras i boken Colour and Light – Concepts and Confusions (Red. Arnkil, H. 2012. Helsinki: Aalto University School of Arts, Architecture and Design). Denna rapport om ljus- och färgbegrepp bygger på Karin Fridell Anters artikel i boken. Texten har utarbetats i nära samarbete med Ulf Klarén och Harald Arnkil. Under arbetets gång har den diskuterats av SYN-TES samlade seminariegrupp.

Neutral grey : an abstraction?
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This paper presents part of the research project Greyness and spatial experience. Its main objective is to discuss the concept of neutral grey and to investigate the preconditions for percieving neutral grey colours in different situations. Neutral grey is defined as having similarity to black and white, not to the chromatic elementary colours. Greyish colour samples have been observed with different backgrounds and in different light. One of these series is presented in detail in the paper, the conclusion from others are considered in the discussion, together with relevant literature. Greyish colours are seldom percieved as neutral, but rather tent to get a percieved hue, which depends on the observation situation. Inherent neutral grey colours are not found in nature. In production of materials and artefacts no tolerance level can assure a total lack of hue. In conclusion we suggest that neutral grey should be considered as an abstraction, its unique but in practice unobtainable quality lying in its absolute lack of hue and chromaticness.
