Tsvetovedeniye dlya arkhitektorov [i.e. Color in Architecture]
ALEKSEEV, S. Tsvetovedeniye dlya arkhitektorov. [Colour in Architecture]. 157, [2] pp., illustrated with 12 leaves of plates, some colour. 8vo, 220 x 153 mm., bound in original brown cloth. Leningrad: GONTI, 1938.
A very good copy of this work on colour in architecture in Russia. Conceived as a textbook for architecture students in two parts, the first dedicated to general knowledge on colours dealing with such matters as mixing colours, colour and sight, measuring colours, and colour perception. The second part deals with specific problems such as lighting, with the most valuable part of the book being practical advice on the correct usage of colours. Among the tables is one which has all the colours matched with areas of use, resistance to light, main function (inside and outside coverage, decor, roof paint), specific characteristics (chemical reactions to other materials) etc.
OCLC lists copies at Texas, CCA, LC, Columbia and Cambridge.
