The Role of Colour in Kindergarten

Different models have been made to study on how the scale of openings affecting the light diffused into the space. Thus, it would affect the spatial effect of the space either through painting or the materials used. Colours were applied through paintings on wall, material used for building construction, coloured glass. The interrelation of technique, paint and support generates a dynamic spatial condition, an interface that shows how colour works and misleads. The customization of the tool and transformation of paint aim to open up options to the broad but very much disciplined manufactures offer, trying to look beyond its domestication and limitation. As an answer to kindergarten colour code, it foresees an uncertain and subtle definition of it. It deals with the subjective and perceptual properties of colour, adopting different types of paint and light. Exploring colour through study models help us begin to reconsider how we constitute the world. The process of perceiving a colour does not merely refer to the act of seeing, to the vision – it involves a neurological process of recognition and interpretation. It makes us see the world in an altered way and makes us appreciate colour. Study on a few scientific experiments which helps as evidence to the general consensus of how colour being used. The project contributes to the creation of ambiance by offering diverse level of luminosity while the tectonic of paint and its gradient enhances various chromatic condition, such as transparency, opacity, visual blurriness, irregular intensity. It dwells the space as a second skin, forming surprising and various visual effects. I consider this project tackles the issue of the hidden potential of industrial paint. The application of colour in rooms can lead to unexpected solutions. This is achieved by manipulating tool and paint, in order to enhance their evocative power and open up re-interpretation of the way colour is designed and applied whether to interiors or exteriors. As I mentioned colour is more than just decoration in my dissertation title, focusing on what it is that colour can do, and not only what it can mean. Colour can be controlled with techniques to accomplish specific works, for example, colour can create effects of movement if combined with another, it can camouflage or en-light with its aura. However, there are a few limitations when conducting this study. To begin with, being in an unfamiliar country, it took me quite some time to select a
