COLOUR EDUCATION & THE POLITICS OF COLOUR
TIMO RIEKE: RAL COLOUR FEELING – INTERACTION OF COLOUR & ATMOSPHERE
Colour is a physical, perceptual and cultural phenomenon that has influence on every aspect of our lives. As a designer, Timo Rieke explores the relationship between external and internal states through the parameters of colour, material and surface. The goal is to create situations and environments that are contextualized, activating, welcoming and healthy. Colour becomes a political factor when it can be used to create environments that are good for us. Between trend colours and basic colour research, the lecture focuses on the different roles of colour in our lives.
