Study Group on Environmental Colour Design
SG ECD – Call for Contributions
2023 Meeting of the Study Group on Environmental Colour Design (SG ECD) of the International Colour Association (AIC)
Date: Tuesday, 28 November 2023, 4:15 pm – 5:30 pm (75 minutes)
Venue: AIC 2023 Congress, The Riverie by Katathani, Chiang Rai, Thailand
Theme: The role of theory and practice in environmental colour design
Theme description: This ECD meeting will focus on the discussion of the different roles and relationships between theory and application. We will inquire into what theory is in environmental colour design and what application means. Is theory completely detached from practical experience? Or, is it an ideal abstraction of observations that emerge from practice and experience? In other words, is theory fundamental to the practice of environmental colour design? What is applied theory? Do we apply a methodology, rules or regulations? Is it merely a matter of conducting an investigative analysis of a natural and urban environment? Or is it more about carrying out an analysis and synthesis to create colour palettes and colour schemes for the application in a space or on mobile devices? That is, can practice be completely detached from theory? Does practice entail entirely different concepts that have nothing to do with the application of academic models and theoretical frameworks? The aim of this meeting is to disentangle the complexity and understand the different roles that theory, application, and practice hold.
