About the Author
Michael Lancaster is an architect, landscape architect and colour consultant who has practised in the UK, Africa and Asia. He was Senior Lecturer at Gloucester College of Art and Design and Head of Landscape Architecture at the University of Greenwich, and has lectured extensively on the use of colour. His published works include Britain in View: Colour and the Landscape (1984), The New European Landscape (1994), and contributions to the Colour in Architecture issue of Architectural Design (1996). In 1991, he co-wrote and presented the film The Colour Eye 5 for BBC 2.
From the Back Cover
With this invaluable handbook. Michael Lancaster seeks to clarify the place and meaning of colour in our surroundings. The complex subject matter is explored thoroughly - from the biological nature of colour and colour perception to the contemporary concerns of colour planning and colour control - to provide a solid base for the author's prime concern: the use of colour in the context of the environment. Taking examples from a wide range of townscapes and landscapes. Michael Lancaster identifies the confusion that has arisen from the recent colour revolution, and the increasing possibilities for visual pollution. Such negative examples contrast sharply with the detailed analyses of town planning in which harmony of colour and context is sought. The wealth and diversity of illustrations throughout vividly bring to life the issues raised by the author, providing readers with a highly accessible source of reference from which to reevaluate their understanding and experience of colour.
