Study Group on Environmental Colour Design (ECD) of the International Colour Association (AIC)


Co-Chairs:
Verena M. Schindler (Switzerland)
Juan Serra Lluch (Spain)

The Study Group on Environmental Colour Design (ECD) of the International Colour Association (AIC) is an international, informal, 100% volunteer-run, not-for-profit study group of colour designers, colourists, colour consultants, architects, urban designers and planners, landscape architects, interior architects, artists, designers, graphic designers, lighting designers, art and architectural historians, psychologists, sociologists, ecologists, philosophers, scientists, educators and other professionals with a specific interest in colour as a means of environmental design in interior and exterior space.

It is a broad field of study that includes colour in the natural environment, the built environment and the sociocultural environment. The research in this field also includes the investigation of the effects of colour upon human behaviour, cognition, and emotion.

The aim is to promote a deeper understanding of the relevance of colour in the overall design process and to establish a theoretical and practical basis for a trans-national discussion concerning a cross-cultural appreciation of environmental colour design.

The aims of the SG ECD include:

  • The dissemination of knowledge among its members;
  • The exchange of experience gained in the process of integrating colour in planning, designing, and realizing the built environment;
  • The propagation of knowledge and evaluative experience through congresses, seminars, workshops, publications and exhibitions;
  • And, the stimulation of research and teaching.
