Abstract

Colour and architecture are linked from the origins of constructive practice. Each civilization has expressed messages –without words but with a voice– in their buildings, helping to understand them the strength and the symbolism of colour. This use is maintained in the recent architecture so the uses of colours have to adapt to these days, many of whose values differ from those expressed since ancient times through the history of art. Thus, this text tries to provide some light at the current usage of colour in the international architecture, reeling off some of the examples that illustrate the intended purposes and noting, in conclusion, which are the messages that the XXI century masters want to project in their work when they rely on the use of a given pitch. While certain factors observable in these cases (exclusivity, distinction, luxury...) require to look back into the past, other aspects (iconic character of the building, respect and camoufage with the natural, carefree...) speak the language of the new millennium and are strong expressions of many of the personality traits of developed societies in which these constructions are created.
