Abstract
The boat is a means of transport which, by definition, moves between two fluids: water and air. This means that, unlike houses which can relate to a fairly constant urban and/or natural landscape, boats are immersed in an ever-changing natural world. The interface that allows direct contact between nature and the boat is certainly exterior yacht design, where the colour of the hull and superstructure plays a fundamental role. Unlike small boats, where designers experiment with the most varied uses of colour, the majority of large yachts are traditionally associated with a very rigid colour scheme, which has remained unchanged for decades. However, the 21st century has opened up new scenarios in yachting, with research into colour in exterior yacht design that has seen unprecedented applications. Today, large, colourful yachts are increasingly in demand; we have gone from sporadic cases to an increasingly widespread reality. Colour in exterior yacht design is often used as an element of recognition (for example, of the owner or the brand), but how do boat colours relate to the surrounding landscape? The proposed study aims to investigate the relationships between the colour of the exteriors of large pleasure boats (motor and sailing) and the environment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
