Psychological Effects Of Color


Various colors have a strong emotional effect on people. It reflects the spirit of the people
who create it Color is definitely related to the lives of the individuals and the material things
with which they are associated.
RED - tends to produce rage or passion; it is exciting and stimulates the brain.
It has an aggressive quality and is frequently associated with violence
and excitement.
(medium red) suggests health and vitality
An Open Red Flush Door(bright red) often has amorous connotations.

YELLOW - 
It is the most luminous color. Yellow also demands attention, and so, it is used in dangerous locations, such as the edge of a subway platform to mark the hazard, while red used to be the color for firetrucks, yellow is now preferred.

ORANGE - has a stimulating effect and should usually be used in relatively small

at ease after a short time and will leave it at every opportunity.

BROWN - is restful and warming but should be combined with orange, yellow or

BLUE - is peaceful and tranquil. It reduces excitability and therefore helps one
to concentrate.
GREEN - has a cooling quality and it acts as a sedative.

 This psychological use of color has been related to architecture for centuries. Bright colors

Color can be used functionally. We can make it maximize or minimize the size of objects.
Color can be used to help express architectural forms - and -if carelessly used, it can
destroy the architectural form. Color on walls, floor, and ceiling is modified by other colors present in the same area. For instance, if three walls of a room are a warm gray and the fourth wall is a shade of yellow, the yellow will be reflected in the gray walls and will modify their appearance. Again, the pate green may look good in a room until a bright shade of green is used next to it. Suddenly the gray-green look gray and quite inadequate.
An enclosed room which is painted with warm colors makes those who work in it feel warm.
Similarly, if a large, open, windowed space with a great deal of glass painted with cool colors, people who work in it, sometimes feel chilly.

         One is 'prepared' "for a room's color if the entrance is painted a complementary color. Deep colors always seem to make the walls of a room seem heavy, while pale pastel colors seem to make the walls light. If a room is long and narrow, its appearance can be modified by painting the end walls with warm colors-red, yellow, orange. Similarly, in a small room, the walls can be made to recede by painting them with cool colors such as green and blue.

Steel Reinforcement

Since, concrete is relatively weak in tension, reinforcement consisting of steel bars, strands or wires is required to absorb tensile, shearing and sometimes the compressive stresses in a concrete member or structure. Steel reinforcement is also required to tie vertical and horizontal elements, reinforce the edges around openings, minimize shrinkage cracking and control thermal expansion and contraction. All reinforcement should be designed by a suitably qualified engineer.       Reinforcing bars are steel sections hot-rolled with ribs or other deformations for better mechanical bonding to concrete. The bar number refers to its diameter in millimeters – for example, a 6 bar is 6 mm in diameter.      The welded-wire fabric consists of a grid of steel wires or bars  welded together at all points of intersection. The fabric is designated by the size of the grid in mm followed by a number indicating the wire size. ...

Ancient Egyptian Gardens

Gardens and their requirements are a complex subject. Ancient Egypt has a long and complex history. Combining those two topics produce a subject well beyond the scope of one amateurs blog. The botanical classifications, irrigation techniques, sacred and medicinal uses of plants, all could be separate  blogs and some have occupied whole books. This article attempts  only a quick overview. Throughout the history of ancient Egypt, gardens were prized. There were gardens for every purpose, for pleasure and medicine, for food and worship. Above all, there were gardens for shade and coolness. Often the same garden served several purposes at once, for the ancient Egyptians were in many ways a practical people. They are credited with having the first botanic gardens. Pharaohs, recording their great deeds, listed gardens they had created and expeditions they had sent to far-off lands for trees and exotic plants. Ordinary people had their own, less elabora...
