Abstract:
Color is one of the most important characteristics that play an important role in Visual
perception of the accompanying different effects. The warm colors of surfaces help to
stimulate and strengthen architectural glass facades, even if minor, how has the ability to
move more than cool colors, and transition from cold to warm colors gives the movement
inward, while moving from cold to warm colors gives the outward movement. In addition,
tonal sequence gives a sense of movement and transition. And the architect should know the
required color for the surface because we see color first as an expression of the shape. The
use of color can be in two ways, the first use is symbolic. And second: good shape-building
integration. So that it appears in color effect glass architectural interfaces through the use and
locations. The Problem: Research deals with the effect of using color in aesthetic taste of
architectural interfaces as one of the most important problems affecting the architectural
form. The Aim: A study of the impact of color in glass architecture interfaces through the
study of the intellectual concept of color and influencing factors. Conclusions: 1. To achieve
the aesthetic and functional values of architectural glass facades, the theories and aesthetics
of color must be studied and influenced by the viewer. 2. The colors used in the façade
should be determined according to the functions of the architectural building and the
psychological impact of these colors on the users of the building.
