ALCAIDE-RAMIREZ, Aurora y RUIZ-ABELLON, Ana. The application of colour to modern architecture: A review of projects by Bruno Taut and Le Corbusier. Estoa [online]. 2021, vol.10, n.20, pp.250-267. ISSN 1390-9274. https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v010.n020.a13.
Architecture and painting are at a turning point in the early part of the 20th century. The arrival of Modernity or International Style meant a rethinking of the ways of building, since materials such as concrete, iron or glass appeared on the scene, conditioning not only the constructive process, but also the aesthetics of the building. But this is not the only characteristic of this change. Colour, traditionally associated with the pictorial field, became part of architecture as a covering, which is applied in accordance with the purpose pursued by the designer, who in this case is also the architect. To put this aesthetic change into context, two projects will be analyzed, one by Bruno Taut and other by Le Corbusier.
