Care through colour in space

Abstract

The following communication presents the means by which a workshop with artist and architect Emmanuelle Moureaux in Japan led me to a research internship at the GERPHAU laboratories in Paris La Villette with Lyon’s hospitals. My work with Moureaux and my interaction with her projects gave me insight into the ways that colour can transform and interact with space. My architectural studies have allowed me to realise that, despite the intangible effects of colour on built space, colour is not a used as a primary conceptual tool. My interest for colour and my architecture studies have led me to explore the potential of colour in a healthcare setting.
