The draft plan of color Vladivostok developed in the city administration. Its authors were more than a dozen artists, architects, designers Vladivostok. Sobraland summarized the work of the author of the main artist of the city, the chief of the department of urban design Shugurov Paul.
The main purpose of such a large-scale work was the creation of an updated palette of the city, its color harmonization.
As the authors explain, first analyzed the existing of color, each color area has been isolated "chroma key" often exists ain the bud color, which can later be "pull" the gray, or, conversely, overly colorful surroundings.
Vladivostok - a city on the terrain, so the color zoning is developed mainly around the peak point, at least - around transport hubs, highways or composition-quarters finished with a strong architecture.
It is worth recalling that the basic concept of coloristic Vladivostok has been developed broadly in the management of urban planning and architecture in 2011 and work on the reconstruction of the facades of buildings along the route was a guest in accordance with this concept.
During this time, more than a thousand buildings began to play with new colors, and in most cases the owners painted facades in accordance with the approved Colorful passport. In accordance with the suggestions of experts, the main colors in the lining of residential steel buildings are shades of natural building materials (stone, clay, sand, wood - white, beige, ocher, gray, red-brown, etc.). Diluted rigor saturated color of roofs, balconies and other specific architectural elements - appropriate here are green, deep red, ultramarine, which added bright colors to the color appearance of the city.
Now, this work should be continued on a much larger scale, and the project for almost the entire city, including remote areas and, of course, building on the hills.
The choice of colors is dependent on many factors: the location, the level of illumination by sunlight at different times of day and year, the current composition of building, its architectural features.
For example, in the development of the northern slope of the hill Gorsovetskoy generally solved as white-blue "hill-morjachok," put some warm hues. A hill above the street Neybuta conceived in light ocher - for in the hour of sunset, when the volcano thousands of gilded reflections from windows, reinforce the impression of the fabulous "cities of gold."
A special approach - to the city center: there are mainly buildings built before the revolution, there is no typical buildings, and because almost every building requires an individual approach.
Another approach - to coloristics neighborhoods Soviet-built to modern buildings. For example, in remote bedroom and industrial areas are preferred facades with active inclusion of bright color combinations.
Appendix to the color palette to the plan was the "Palette Vladivostok," where all the nuances involved, each with a specific number according to the most authoritative and widespread in the world palette - NCS, as well as additional "poetic" name. That's why there appear clear at times only to residents of Vladivostok hues - the "fog", "fern", "kelp", "water chestnuts", "Shamora", "gray horse" and others. Such colors - part of a symbolic code, which brings together the inhabitants of one city, and for vladivostoktsev it is very important. Based on the choice of color combinations, districts may also get some sort of conditional color names - Area "Tiger Lily", or complex of buildings, "rosemary".
After extensive discussion of color plan of the city, including the Internet, its completion, the document can be approved. However, the concept - not a dogma or a statement to the direct implementation. The developers hope that the work will be a good tool for architects, environmental designers when placing new buildings of various sizes - from an extension to the high-rise buildings, as well as private entrepreneurs, owners of apartment buildings in a choice of colors facades in the course of reconstruction or repair. Also, work can form the basis for the concepts of outdoor advertising, architectural lighting, festive decoration, etc.
"If we stick to the general concept of a color, then within 10 years we will make an interesting and unique of its kind in the city. City of our dreams." - Concludes Paul Shugurov.
