The way of using grey (the modern white) in the name of minimalism is what are we finding ‘comfort’ today, or is it just a scary thought to go for polychromy? A forgotten outlier - Gottfried Semper, who wrote against the white-dressing classicism in architecture, shows us an interesting way of interpreting colors. The one who believes in celebrating decoration, acting, festivals, clothes and masks as the basis of structures. His attempt to go down the origin that how even living things follow function (w.r.t. to the groundbreaking theory of Cuvier), suggests the architectural forms thereby follow the materials functionality. The four elements with characters of gathering, enclosing, covering and raising (furnace, wall, roof and earth) do not remain in their initial state rather they morph continuously. So the argument arises if we see the ‘mask’ (metaphor), as a layered surface or as the part of element that evolves over time.
