Popis: Today more and more cities are paying special attention to the colour of plaster when undertaking the rehabilitation of their historic centres. The architect Joan Casadevall, director of Gabinete de Color, a studio with a great deal of experience in studies on urban chromatism, explains the Colour Scheme for Melilla, a city that will celebrate in 1997 the 5th Centenary of Spanish presence there, demonstrating once again that the colour of historic architecture is closely linked to the styles and ways of working of each period and place, and that its investigation must be carried out not in a haphazard fashion but very methodically.
