The interaction between color and architecture determines our perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design and communication means which, however, are often not fully used – color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its interaction with structure, light, and geometry.

Die bauphysikalischen und komfortrelevanten Eigenschaften zeichnen den Gips-Trockenbau als besonders nachhaltige und vielseitige Bauweise aus. Das Buch verknüpft das große architektonische und skulpturale Potenzial dieser Bauweise mit den konstruktiven Anforderungen. Sein Fokus liegt auf der Systemvielfalt, den spezifischen Abhängigkeiten und deren konsequenter Umsetzung in einer Entwurfsidee. Raumkonzeptionen und Elemente in Bestandsgebäuden oder Neubauten werden kategorisiert und ihre Umsetzung im Detail dargestellt. Zahlreiche Beispiele zur Detaillierung und Fügung von Bauteilen erläutern darüber hinaus den Wirkungszusammenhang von Licht, Farbe, Material, Oberfläche und Konstruktion. Zeichnungen in verschiedenen Maßstäben veranschaulichen die räumlichen und tektonischen Beziehungen.
