Optical Effect - The intensity of the colors is also related to the light and shadow of the daylight. The contrast and blending of these elements create a greater illusion of space and a fascinating aesthetic
La Muralla Roja by Ricardo Bofill is an iconic architecture masterpiece, that is constantly interacting with the environment. The design is in harmony with the silhouette of the mountain cliff, and the colorful palette revels a new emotion every time the daylight changes.
Colors play an important role in the design of La Muralla Roja, on the inside defining spaces and easy way finding, while outside reveling itself. The hue intercalate between moments of blend and contrast with nature depending on the daylight.
La Muralla is a good example of the impact of colors regarding emotions, movement and interaction.
