A conceptual framework for a decision support system for colour selection and use in the design of the built environment

摘要

Computer Visualization is a common tool within modern Architectural Design as to improve productivity and communication factors. Whilst this may be the case, there is evidence that Architects are abusing these new tools in the provision of new designs. Color representation is a major factor within Architectural Design, but appears neglected within the continuous development of Computer Technology. This paper outlines the conceptual framework for a decision support system devised to improve the validity of color representation in Computer Visualization and improve Architect—Client interaction in the design process, whilst addressing the co-variables which affect the perceptual process of Color and improve Architectural Design.
