Biography
Fiona McLachlan is Professor of Architectural Practice and head of the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) at the University of Edinburgh, and is a practising architect.
The book makes you acutely aware that something so inextricably linked to the experience of architecture is missing from the current education of an architect....[It] goes way beyond simple aesthetics and explores the body of theoretical work that underpins the use of colour in the past and which informs the work of this selection of architects." — Professor Alan Pert, NORD, UK
