Color in architecture, the basic principles of its application in available mediums.
A 1922 trade publication issued in New York by the National Terra Cotta Society, written by F. S. Laurence to show architects and builders how colour could be applied to terra-cotta and other architectural materials. The plates are colour and photographic studies of building facades, mouldings and stonework. The pictures show Gothic-style arcades in red brick and polychrome, a carved frieze with birds and foliage, a tiled Venetian-style townhouse facade, and a close photograph of a stone pier's base and moulded profiles, giving a designer period models of coloured masonry ornament and its surface pattern.
