da licenciatura, do mestrado e do doutoramento. A experimentao na cor envolveu dispositivos de leitura cromtica, caixas de

luz e cor e prottipos de material pedaggico e didctico.

Os aspectos tecnolgicos foram abordados na perspectiva da relao entre o utente do webdesign e as interaces cromticas

e na da expresso da cor na moda, com destaque para o seu papel na criao de uma coleco de vesturio. Os dados que

envolvem o mapeamento da activao neuronal e as conexes da cor com o vesturio foram inspeccionados segundo os

resultados e as descobertas da neurocincia referentes s emoes e viso - aspectos que revelam um conjunto novo de

proposies, quando o corpo se encontra deslocado do seu eixo gravitacional.

Para alm de propostas que integraram a simbologia, a metfora e a analogia no contexto de variveis diversificadas (espao-

tempo, luz-cor, sombra-reflexo, movimento-materialidade, binica e biomimtica...), questes houve que relacionaram a cor com

a sinalizao, a orientao e a identificao foram estudadas do ponto de vista do design escala urbana, ao encontro das

preocupaes com a leitura da cor pela viso envelhecida e a legibilidade no mbito da comunicao visual e do design inclusivo.

Ao levantar questes relativamente a uma rea do saber, cada disciplina desloca as fronteiras estabelecidas de campos potenciais

espera de nova germinao em futuros encontros. A riqueza do espectro de significados e sentidos criados pela oscilao

dessas fronteiras entre as temticas gnoseolgicas fica registada no lxico. O aprofundamento dos estudos multifacetados sobre

a cor no escapa a essa realidade, pelo que uma outra actividade da APCOR consiste no estudo do lxico da cor.

Enfim, encarando-se sob quaisquer modos de sensibilidade e de experincias o contributo da cor para a transformao civilizada

do mundo visvel, com feliz encanto que, dado o contributo das realizaes das actividades da APCOR e do empenhamento

dos seus Associados, cabalmente se entende a razo pela qual os que se dedicam indagao e compreenso dos mistrios

da cor se tm tornado humanos cromgenos.

The Associao Portuguesa da Cor-APCOR was created in the context of the Faculty of Architecture-Lisbon TechnicalUniversity Master Course Colour in Architecture, in 2003. Still at an embryonic stage, this footprint - that is also ahistorical landmark-ties the core activities of the APCOR to research and education as a means to further knowledge.That is why the most endemic feature of the APCOR resides in its capacity to nourish activities leading to seriousstudy and trustworthy communication with the communities that colour connects.

In 2008, projects developed by the APCOR are either purely speculative, or empirical, or otherwise integrative of boththeory and praxis. Colour plans were made for original architectural and urban structures or to rehabilitate a historiccentre, quarter, or interior. In the classroom, theoretical teachings of colour were integrated at different levels ofeducation within various fields and disciplines. Experimentation was made with devices and prototypes and used asdidactic and pedagogical material. Technological aspects were addressed on how chromatic interactions of visualityestablish interfaces between webdesign and the user, or how colour may express itself in fashion design. Signage,orientation and identification studied from a design standpoint at urban scale met with concerns that relate colour,legibility and aged vision in the field of visual communication and inclusive design. Questions that involve mappingneuronal activations and connections of colour and clothing inspected neuroscience findings relative to emotions andvisual perception, aspects that disclose a different array of propositions when the body is dislocated from its gravitationalaxis. In architecture, the study of the material and immaterial components extended from the contemporary to historicplaces to reveal the relevance of colour in the creation of a sense of place and collective belonging. A phenomenologicalawareness to light, space and architecture provided meaning to a territory where philosophy and architecture arebound in concepts of shelter and care. Other proposals integrated symbology, metaphor and analogy in the contextof variables such as space-time, light-colour, shadow-reflection, movement-materiality, bionics and biomimetics.

Colour is a transdisciplinary field and its lexicon testifies to that by reflecting a large spectrum of meanings. Howeverwhen each discipline raises questions, a chain of thought and findings shifts the established boundaries, as a galaxyof potential fields waiting to germinate into new encounters. In all modes of sensibility and experience, colour has atransformative power on the visible realm. It is with a feeling of wonder and joy that I realise how chromogenousdwellers on the mysteries of colour have become.

Prof. Dr. Maria Joo Duro, President of the Associao Portuguesa da Cor (APCOR)

A Associao Portuguesa da Cor / APCOR foi criada em 2003,

no contexto do "Mestrado em Cor na Arquitectura", realizado

na Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade Tcnica de

Lisboa. Ainda numa fase embrionria, a APCOR j afectava

as suas actividades investigao e educao para o

progresso do conhecimento dos fenmenos da cor e para

uma utilizao prtica e sustentvel dos resultados no

ambiente. Por isso, a caracterstica mais marcante e distintiva

da APCOR reside na sua vocao para, de modo competente

e empenhado, fomentar actividades que produzam estudos

e realizaes srias na rea da cor, com o oportuno

envolvimento da comunidade. Em particular, no ano de 2008,

entre os projectos desenvolvidos pela APCOR registam-se

os puramente especulativos, os empricos e os integradores

da teoria e da prxis.

Em arquitectura, foram feitos estudos cromticos que incidiram

sobre a concepo original de estruturas arquitectnicas ou

que se destinaram a reabilitar centros histricos, interiores e

bairros, enquanto o estudo de componentes materiais e

imateriais se estendia dos lugares histricos aos

contemporneos, dada a importncia da cor na criao de

um sentido de lugar e de pertena colectiva. Um despertar

fenomenolgico das relaes entre a luz, o espao e a

arquitectura levou significado a um territrio onde a filosofia

e a arquitectura se ligam atravs de conceitos como os de

"abrigo" e "cuidado".

Na sala de aula, os ensinamentos tericos da cor foram

integrados em disciplinas e reas do mbito do ensino

secundrio e do universitrio, tendo-se processado ao nvel

COR NA CIDADE DO PORTO

COLOUR STUDIES OF THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF PORTO

This project originated the dissertation "THE COLOURS OF

PORTO" , with which Helena Soares was awarded the degree

of Master in Colour in Architecture of the FAUTL, 2008

(superviser: Maria Joo Duro; co-superviser:Jean Philippe

Lenclos)

O projecto baseia-se em estudos desenvolvidos por Jean-

Philippe Lenclos, que defende a importncia do contexto

situacional como critrio para a escolha das cores de um local,

e fundamenta-se em anlises eminentemente visuais que

procuram registar a especificidade cromtica de um local,

atravs da informao de cor disponvel. A adopo de tais

procedimentos implica o reconhecimento de que a reconstituio

do vocabulrio bsico garante que as propostas de paletas de

cor se articulem coerentemente com aspectos de natureza

urbanstica e arquitectnica, salvaguardando os aspectos

regionais identitrios da cor do local. Foi realizado um estudo

das cores permanentes fornecidas por elementos estveis com

um carcter visual durvel e susceptveis de levantamento, ou

registo, tais como: os materiais de construo, a pedra, as

cermicas do lugar, mas tambm os minerais dos solos que

serviram de pigmentos. As cores no permanentes so as que

dependem de factores variveis, como a infinita mudana da

luz e do clima, a vegetao ao longo do ano, a luz do cu ou

dos rios, etc.

A study of the colours of Porto in the context of the space

presently occupied by the town. Colour and town are

simultaneously and alternately the focus and the pretext of the

investigation that based its methodology on Jean-Philippe

Lenclos' and used the NCS system for colour codification. It

is an essay both detailed and global, conceptual and sensorial,

technical and artistic. We believe that each place has its own

chromatism, resulting from the interaction between the geological

and climatic conditions, the local construction materials, the

cultural and societal traditions. The colours used in such contexts

bear artistic and historic dimensions and so the search for the

identity of a city requires methodological strategies such as

visual records of images in their real context, i.e. in the presence

of architectural configurations of urban scale, detailed facade

features, volumes and textures and their complex interrelations

with light, among others.

DISPOSITIVO DE MEDIO DE CORES APARENTES

DEVICE FOR PERCEPTUAL COLOUR MEASUREMENT

EQUIPA TEAM

Joo Nuno Perno/ investigador principal principal investigator;

Maria Joo Duro/ coordenadora coordinator, FAUTL.

Esta investigao baseia-se numa abordagem fenomenolgica

e transdisciplinar, enquadrando o fenmeno cromtico numa

perspectiva de percepo das suas qualidades enquanto gerador

da imagem fsica da realidade e, consequentemente, dos

objectos e espaos construdos. Foi desenvolvido este dispositivo

especial para servir o propsito de observar e comparar as

cores da realidade como ns as percepcionamos, na sua

multiplicidade de situaes no espao, directamente iluminadas

ou em sombra, com pouca ou muita intensidade lumnica.. O

aparelho possui um iluminante prprio de caractersticas

conhecidas e constantes que permite, ao mesmo tempo, a

comparao entre amostras de cor por ele iluminadas e a cor

aparente percepcionada directamente da realidade.

The prototype of this device was created by Joo Nuno Perno

for the Master Dissertation "The Interpretation of Reality as

Colour Variation due to Light in Space and in Time" and is

developed in his doctoral research project, "The Interpretation

of Reality Through Colour: Measurement, Registration, Analysis,

and Application of Psychometric Data for the Establishment of

Chromatic Invariables in Perception" supervised by Prof. Dr.

Maria Joo Duro. Once there is no known process or device

that produces the same results, it was necessary to create a

specific device that serves the purpose of observing and

comparing colours from reality as we see it through our eyes,

in their multiplicity of situations in space, directly illuminated or

in shadow, and with different light intensity. This device allows

a direct and perceptual colour reading of the surfaces that can

be compared with reference samples and autonomous and

constant lighting conditions.

The research project explores a conceptual territory initiated

by Calatrava with his doctoral thesis on technological concept

of foldability, "Zur Faltbarkeit von Fachwerken", that generated

a thesaurus of possible folding structures in an analogy to

colour, shadow-reflection, movement-materiality. A core aspect

of this project is to research the creative continuum of disegno

in his body of work according to archetypical metaphors of line

O projecto "A cor como abrigo: a Arquitectura como cuidado"

tem por objectivo fortalecer a relao entre a Teoria da Cor de

J. W. Goethe (1749-1832) e a Arquitectura. O mtodo de

orientao o da Fenomenologia, tendo por referncias

principais Goethe, Wittgenstein, Husserl, Heidegger, Gilles

Deleuze, Norberg-Schulz, Frank Lloyd Wright and Tadao Ando

tendo, essencialmente com vista compreenso do conceito

de espao. Pondo-se em evidncia a forte relao entre a

Teoria da Cor e a Arquitectura, feita uma reflexo sobre a

Arquitectura de ambientes de prestao de cuidados mdicos,

no sentido de se entender "a Arquitectura como cuidado"

(Heidegger) na sua extenso mxima.

The project has its main focus on Goethe's Theory of Colour

(Zur Farbenlehre, 1810). In order to best describe this theory

a phenomenological approach is taken on the subject of space

(where colour manifests itself) and on architecture (being the

art that has space, surface and shelter as its raw materials).

This research considers that the most relevant aspect of colour

is the fact that it expresses light. Therefore the physical aspect

(and not the psychological or physiological) in relation with its

ontological element prevails. Goethe, Wittgenstein, Husserl,

Heidegger, Gilles Deleuze, Norberg-Schulz, Frank Lloyd Wright

and Tadao Ando are taken as main references.

A study on the perceptive qualities of the azulejo (tile) cladding,

as colour in architecture, and its contribution to the physical

and emotional quality of the built environment. Through a

transversal approach in areas as perception, (and perception

variations namely, lighting and observing conditions like distance,

viewing angle, socio cultural and geographic contexts),

physiology, sociology, psychology and colorimetric.

Using a perceptual approach based on a "Synchronic and

Diachronic" method of analysis of strategically chosen case

studies, cross-correlated with colorimetric measurements this

investigation aims to clarify the perceptual potential of ceramic

tiles, as colour in architecture, being cladding or work of art, to

those working with colour in the built environment.

COLOUR IN WEIGHTLESSNESS

EQUIPA TEAM

Maria Joo Duro/ coordinator; Robin Guerreiro

Study of the potential of colour when applied to the design

of space habitats and how it can increase human wellbeing

living or working in these habitats. The U.S. Destiny

Laboratory Module is used as case study to examine the

impact that different combinations of colour have in

confined and extreme environments. However, Lab

experimentation is carried out using virtual simulators to

apply colours to the overhead, deck, starboard and port

and equipment allowing a complex array of aspects of

colour to be considered. Simulation of perceptual processes

and movement are other key factors implicated in the

relations between colour and the body in weightless.

Este estudo, de natureza emprica, consistiu na criao

de um site testado com alunos de vrias instituies

acadmicas, partindo do site do Laboratrio da Cor.

Resultou do cruzamento das interaces cromticas da

visualidade com os fundamentos do design grfico tendo

por objectivo a criao de uma interface entre o webdesign

An empirical study grounded the creation of a site that

was tested with students of academic institutions of Art,

Design and Architecture at the Faculdade de Arquitectura

de Lisboa, Universidade Lusfona de Humanidades e

Tecnologias and IADE. The evaluation of the students'

opinion and sensibilities was carried out with the data

gathering techniques such as questionnaires in three

parts: personal characterization, options relative to

chromatic relations, harmonies, ergonomy and analysis

of associations made by the students. The complexity of

chromatic interactions of visuality together with the

fundamentals of graphic design established an interface

between webdesign and the user.

The Light and Colour Box was created, as a prototype,

for the discipline "Luz e Cor" (Light and Colour), 3rd. year

of Interior Architecture, FAUTL. The development of this

prototype was considered due to the interest of the

students of different courses of the FAUTL in this "light

and colour box", as well as the possibility of experimental

research on the field of light and colour relationships.

This device can show perceptual colour variations with

different light sources and colour filters and it can also

compare perceptual colour variations with different

materials and textures. This prototype become a didactic

and pedagogic material with growing importance in the

divulgation and promotion of the colour phenomenom in

this University, and apart from its primary objective as a

support for teaching perceptual colour variations, it could

be seen as a tool for investigation in this field.

estabelecida com o vesturio. O objectivo desta investigao

consiste em interpretar esse processo para se conhecer a

forma como esta experincia vivida pelo ser humano e da

extrair o entendimento de comportamentos associados.

O sistema complexo de recolha de dados integra um estudo

de fMRI - Imagem de Ressonncia Magntica funcional, a que

se juntam entrevistas exploratrias incidentes sobre o sentido

reviso bibliogrfica relativa ao processo neurolgico da

percepo visual dos objectos, da cor e das emoes.

The project is based on neuroscience findings relative to

emotions and visual perception of objects and colour and its

application to design by exploring their implications on the

affective relationship we maintain with clothing. This process

involves mapping of neuronal activations and connections of

colour and clothing and the analysis of variation caused by

colour. In terms of visual perception, the understanding of the

nature of this relationship requires the use of a complex system

of data gathering techniques that integrate an extensive literature

review pertaining to neurological findings in visual perception

of artefacts, emotions, as well as to the meanings of affective

relationships with clothing, coupled with interviews and functional

magnetic resonance studies.

within the field of colour and in special those concerned with

colour lexicon. The study requires an extensive bibliographic

research as a framework and rationale in the field of symbology,

anthropology, perception and cognition, as well as semiotics

and semantics.

ANDR IN LEIRIA 2007/2008

Joo Perno, Lus Bissau, Diana Soeiro

O Estudo de Cor para os espaos interiores do Hospital de

Santo Andr representa uma importante oportunidade para

compreender e conciliar os aspectos multidisciplinares

decorrentes da aplicao da cor em ambientes construdos

com funcionalidades especficas. Os edifcios hospitalares so

uma rea de interveno em que o estudo cromtico pode

introduzir melhorias considerveis nos aspectos ergonmicos

e de conforto de utilizao tanto nos pacientes como no pessoal

especializado que a intervm.

This study is an important opportunity to understand and

reconcile the multidisciplinar issues arising from application of

colour in built environments with specific functional requirements.

The hospital buildings are an area of intervention in which

colour study may introduce considerable improvements in

comfort and ergonomic aspects, both within the patients and

the medical staff.

02 ESTUDO DE COR PARA UM EDIFCIO DE FORMAO

PROFISSIONAL - CENFIC, LISBOA

02 COLOUR PLAN FOR A SCHOOL BUILDING-CENFIC,

LISBOA 2007/2008

Joo Perno

O Estudo de Cor para este edifcio definiu um vermelho oxidado

para o exterior que ao mesmo tempo distingue o edifcio e o

integra na envolvente (coberturas metlicas industriais

vermelhas, telha vermelha, tijolo aparente). Esta cor no

representa apenas uma "pele", uma vez que penetra para o

interior dinamizando os espaos de circulao, enquanto que

os espaos de aulas e gabinetes de trabalho so definidos

com cinzentos e ocres claros criando ambientes propcios

concentrao e calma.

The colour study for this building set an oxide red to the outside

surfaces that manage to distinguish the building from its

surroundings and at the same time create a relationship with

the built environment (industrial red metal roof, tile red, brick).

This colour is not only a "skin", since it penetrates into the

interior, accentuating dynamic movement in stairs and halls,

while in classes and offices colours are subdued, working with

gray and clear ochres for creating environments that lead to

concentration and calm.

Joo Perno

Este estudo de Cor promoveu uma reflexo sobre a necessidade

de abandonar o branco como cor dita erudita na

reabilitao/alterao de edifcios deste tipo em favor de uma

maior diversidade e subtileza na relao com as caractersticas

e elementos que definem esta especfica envolvente construda.

This study brought the opportunity to re-think the suitability of

using white as an "erudite" colour in the rehabilitation /

modification of this type of buildings, in favor of using other

colours that could give greater diversity and subtlety in the

relationship with the features and elements that define this

particular built environment.

Martins, Paulo Silva, Joo Bucho and Zlia Simes Architects)

O Estudo de salvaguarda e reabilitao do centro histrico e

frente mar da Nazar promove o discurso da representao

do espao, ao fazer emergir a simbologia da imagem ou

situaes referenciais reflectidas no quotidiano. A configurao

espacial e o imaginrio revelam um conjunto de valores que

constituem a memria, a histria, a aprendizagem e a

interpretao do passado.

Na anlise do lugar, encontram-se diversas composies e

variaes tonais de cores-base cujo efeito se torna peculiar e

importante na criao e recriao da escala humana, no sentido

de espao e na identidade cultural. A manipulao da cor

imprescindvel enquanto instrumento de (re) conformao e

(re)desenho da imagem urbana nas aces de conservao

e nas novas intervenes.

The Study for the historic centre and waterfront preservation

and rehabilitation of Nazar promotes the language of space

representation, emerging the symbolic image or the, referential

reflected on everyday situations. Space configuration and the

imaginary reveal a valuable set which constitutes memory,

history, apprenticeship and the interpretation of the past.

On the place's analysis, there are several compositions and

tonal variations of basis-colours with an effect that becomes

special and important in the creation and re-creation of the

human scale, on the sense of space and cultural identity. The

manipulation of colour is essential as an instrument of

re(configuration) and re(drawing) of the urban image in terms

of conservation and new interventions.

Arcngelo e Joo Melo collaborators)

O projecto do Colgio Horizonte revela a seriedade e

institucionalidade como o antigo mas sem as rugas e a tristeza

da idade. Um lugar de convergncia de experincias com a

alegria prpria de um espao para crianas a crescer, para a

descoberta dos sentidos e o aparecimento de emoes que

secretamente tomam conta do imaginrio social e individual.

No estudo da materialidade procuramos sintetizar cdigos e

introduzir valores na composio baseados em princpios

pragmticos, icnicos, analgicos e cannicos. Cor, forma e

matria produzem algo mais que uma imagem dando um

conhecimento da unidade entre a "verdade" dos materiais, as

suas causas e efeitos.

The project for Horizonte School reveals seriousness and

institutionality as the old one but without wrinkles and sadness

of the age. A place of experiences with the joy of a space for

children to grow, for the discovery of senses and the appearance

of emotions that secretly take hold of social and individual

imaginary. In the study of materiality we try to summarize codes

and to introduce values in the composition based on pragmatic,

iconic, analogical and canonical principles. Colour, form and

matter produce something more than an image providing

knowledge of the unity between the "truth" of materials, their

causes (affects) and effects.

reading. Pofessor Frank Mahnke published

the book COLOR COMMUNICATION IN

ARCHITECTURAL SPACE and lectured

colour at the IACC seminars. Professor

Catedrtico Lus Badosa taught colour

relationships in art classes at the

Universidad del Pais Vasco highlighting the

relevance of light by showing how the soul

and spirit of a painting is captured in its

luminosity. He explored the themes of the

sacred and spirituality in the context of

symbolic expressions of colour in art and

architecture, while his activities extended

to the organization of exhibitions on

Industrial Heritage and the editorial

responsibilities of FABRIKART. Professor

DIA INTERNACIONAL DA CORE DA LUZ1 verso portuguesa apresentada aos associados

A luz e a cor so indissociveis da gnese, estruturao e

desenvolvimento do universo, pelo que sempre tm afectado

toda a forma de vida natural ou o modo de ser e estar da

humanidade, sobretudo no que respeita influncia da luz

solar e da luz lunar, sem esquecer a dos demais astros, a luz

do fogo, a de certas pedras preciosas ou a luz elctrica, entre

outras fontes lumnicas.

A luz do dia entra na significao primitiva dos vocbulos "deus"

e "Zeus"; a cor leitosa justifica a designao da Lua; "Lcifer"

o anjo portador da luz, alm de designar o planeta Vnus -

vocbulo cujo sentido etimolgico 'seduo'. A luz / o lume

dos olhos est na base da viso e da percepo das cores. A

luz fonte de vida e de entendimento, dissolve terrores e

pesadelos e afasta os fantasmas. A luz um agente da frmula

einsteiniana e=mc2 e um referente de doutrinas escatolgicas.

Aquiles, no Hades, ressentiu a falta dos raios vivificantes do

Sol, e preferia, por isso, ser escravo entre os vivos a reinar

sobre as sombras esvadas que o rodeavam (Od., XI, 498)...

A cor um produto da aco conjugada da luz, do difano,

dos objectos fsicos, da categoria espao-tempo, dos campos

electromagnticos, do movimento, da velocidade, da estrutura

das substncias... A cor - referncia real e principal da viso

- est presente nos espectros da luz, do som, das temperaturas

e das radiaes. A cor afecta o conceito de beleza, de harmonia

e de vida feliz. A cor conspira no acasalamento da maioria dos

animais e favorece a polinizao das flores, condiciona os

estados da alma, a imaginao criadora, o gosto de viver, os

ritmos biolgicos. A cor regista os efeitos do tempo e dos

factores meteorolgicos e qumicos sobre os elementos e as

espcies naturais. A cor o agente catalisador mais privilegiado

que opera na percepo sensorial, como se v por inmeras

expresses sinestsicas. A cor est presente na expresso

artstica, na formulao e comunicao dos sentimentos, na

diferenciao de diversidades (raas, nacionalidades, grupos,

ideologias...), nas sinalticas artificiais e naturais, no culto

religioso, na concepo mitolgica, na construo da

camuflagem, na formao do pensamento analgico...

A abrangncia com que tais fenmenos interferem, em particular,

na vida e na cultura do ser humano justifica que se lhes dedique

um marco anual e universal de reflexo e informao que

incremente uma aco pedaggica, mais incisiva e eficaz,

tendente sensibilizao para a importncia da luz e da cor

na formao, manuteno e aperfeioamento da vida fsica e

psquica, na criao de um ambiente natural mais harmonioso,

na actualizao do conhecimento de aspectos cientficos,

tcnicos, artsticos, ecolgicos e culturais.

Deseja-se, enfim, que esse dia celebre actividades e eventos

que promovam a partilha dos conhecimentos relacionados com

a luz e a cor.

CARTA DEL ADIOS' FOR PROFESSOR RIKARD KULLER

On behalf of the Associao Portuguesa da Cor-APCOR I

would like share with you the sentiments for the loss of Sweden's

eminent academic and colour investigator, Professor Rikard

Kuller.

During the lectures held within the Master Course of Colour in

Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture-Lisbon Technical

University, Professor Emeritus Byron Mikellides created a link

-in the mind and the heart- with Professor Rikard Kuller's

research, through the presentation of his conceptual affiliations

as well as those that are only made possible when based on

respect and friendship.

Professor Rikard Kuller's extensive and profound work covers

essential aspects of colour and light in the environment, from

the study of how colour and light impacts the perception of a

room to the preservation of the well being of human beings in

regard to the broad bio-cultural condition.

We know that advances in any field of knowledge build on what

went before and we are all always "on the shoulders of giants",

therefore, Professor Rikard Kuller's memory will be honoured

by all of us who treasure his work as seed for further study.

CARTA DEL ADIOS' FOR DR. ANDERS HRD

The APCOR - The Portuguese Colour Association conveys

condolences on the death of the distinguished Swedish colour

researcher, Dr. Anders Hrd.

Dr. Anders Hrd has given us a testimony of the importance of

serving the community through his dedication to the AIC, and

for a lifetime dedication to the study of colour he was awarded

the 'doctor honoris causa' at Chalmers Technical University and

the AIC Judd Award , together with Lars Sivik and Gunnar

Tonnquist.

The dissemination of his research and its application to

environmental contexts further the development of a global

language of colour, one which many APCOR researchers use

in their academic post-graduate level studies as well as for

architectural design interventions that range the urban scale.

Forty years ago, Dr. Anders Hrd presented a prototype for the

NCS Atlas and has, since then, illuminated many colour students,

researchers and professionals, by giving an example of how

the inspired heart and mind can innovate and enthusiastically

pursue a dream!
