A webinar that reshapes the perception of space and architecture.

This free webinar is the first lesson of Katrin Trautwein’s online teaching program, the Masterclass® Color and Architecture.

Color is how we see things, the world, and its architecture. Color is not decorative; it structures visual perception and our emotional experience of architecture. What does this new understanding of color mean for architecture and design?
Five questions guide the webinar:

1. How do we see architecture?

2. Why doesn’t the same hue look the same everywhere?

3. Which white should you choose?

4. How can you use contrast to support the architecture?

5. How do you use dynamic chromatic colors?

Color is more than hue.

In practice, color is often selected based on psychological categories, fashion trends, or personal taste. These approaches overlook the role of material reflections and the way light flows through a space. This webinar approaches color as the primary source of information about the world of matter. How do we read colors, and how does color relate to our emotional experience of architecture?

The webinar provides the ideal introduction to the Masterclass. The core concepts, structure, and methodology are introduced, before Dr. Katrin Trautwein answers your questions during the live Q&A.

The webinar is designed for architects, interior architects, designers, craftspeople, students, and anyone looking to gain greater confidence in architectural color design.

It is accredited with one continuing education credit by the German Chamber of Architects. After completing the webinar, you can continue with the remaining Masterclass modules at your own pace, with unlimited access to the webinar and every purchased module.
