Color has always been a powerful tool in architecture: it can influence perceptions of space and form, conveys meaning and intention and guides the viewer's sensory experience. However, it has lost importance in architectural practice and teaching.

With the volume Colors, the Graz-based research collective Diskursiv conveys a mood of contemporary architecture in its use of color. The contributors approach the topic on a theoretical level and, by stressing the potential impact of color, make an impassioned case for its return to the architectural discourse: against the dogma of the universal white box and for a rediscovery of color as a central instrument of architecture.

The second volume by the Graz architectural research collective Diskursiv

Considers the positions, approaches, and working methods of various architecture offices with regard to color and colorfulness
