Color_UrbanPlanning

The color represents an important element of urban design, as this is a great tool to create important spaces, as it serves to express many feelings like happiness, calmness, sadness etc.. However, an urban designer got to know how to use them, because as well as color may give the correct expression to the work, it also may distort the idea.

The color combination may be an element of embellishment, as seen in the images.

The Plaza Venezuela (located in the city of Caracas) got colored lights that illuminate the water source, and they change with the rhythm of the music coming from a speaker located within the square, causing a sense of tranquility. Since this intervention has taken the place life becoming one of the evening meeting places in the city.

In the image number two there is the Guaire River located in the City of Carcass, this type of decoration with a variety of colors that was done at Christmas to surprise the inhabitants. Although the Guaire is the main sewage drain in the city with this decoration was another kind of perception altogether.

I think color plays a crucial role in these pictures. We can see how its use has given all this vivacity to the city.
