Abstract

Based on three main causes, this paper intends to motivate interior architecture designerstoutilize color as coding tool to be more feasible. First cause: the potential capability of color as powerful element of interior architecture with distinguished relation between human and objects. Second cause: the rapid developments of our contemporary life, which generate enormous items that need to be classified. Third cause: the domain of using color as means of coding requires more awareness in spite of the numerous studies and application that cover many aspects of color use and explain the role color plays in our lives. This paper investigates the types of architecture spaces that are more compatible with color coding concepts, and expected to be implemented in interior architecture design like healthcare, educational facilities and industrial projects. It confirms thenecessity of using color as coding tool in interior architecture.
