Toward the architectural chromatic and lighting immateriality

From the moment she was born, the architecture has never
known breaks. Its history is longer than that of any other
fine art. Walter Benjamin was convinced of this, and we could
start from these two simple considerations to understand
where the architecture is reaching today. We can try to do
this by delimiting our attention to the aspects of color and
light. The architecture, read according to the chromatic
angle, is essentially a substrate useful only from the
communication or the representation point of view. It is just a color support function with some significant. Communication
and representation are such as to make each
technology dependent from the configuring thought, but
also vice versa.The form only produces shade effects, while
technology is creating the hue, the tone and the saturation.
Technology, including materials and their processing, may negate
the effects produced by the form.
