The Introduction.
This free webinar is the first lecture in Dr. Katrin Trautwein's online continuing education Masterclass in architectural color design and spatial perception.

How do you create beauty and atmosphere? This free webinar introduces the core ideas behind Dr. Katrin Trautwein's Masterclass Light, Color, Architecture. Discover how light, color, and materiality shape our perception of architecture—and why outstanding color design is about far more than choosing a hue. The webinar explores five fundamental relationships:

Color and Meaning — Why color is much more than hue.

Form and Color — Why color precedes our perception of form.

Color and Emotion — How color shapes our first impression of architecture.

Color and Matter — How color reveals authenticity and the quality of materials.

Light and Color — How light and color work together.

The webinar provides the ideal introduction to the Masterclass. You will become familiar with its core concepts, structure, and methodology 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.
