Scenic Route
Scenic Route is an application that allows a user to explore
the chromatic atmosphere of a cityscape and finding the route to their destination
base on their choice of colour.
This project is part of MA project which aim to study whether the colour can illustrate the chromatic atmosphere of a cityscape and to create awareness of the potential harmonious of our surrounding.
Process of Making
the Scenic Route
Brainstorming the idea
“The geography of colour expresses the consciousness of an ancient and memorable tale.
The vocabulary of color is so anchored in the memory of soils, in the proximity and use of materials, in belief and symbols, in relation of sky to light, to the climate, to passing time – like a passing color- that often
we no longer know how to see or explain what is before our eyes. ”
