Cts_ColorLAB - Culture Technology Science
CtS_ColorLab at the Department of Architecture and Design specializes in advanced architectural and chromatic survey. The laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment such as 3D scanners and lasers to document, analyze, and enhance architectural and cultural heritage. It also conducts research and develops color projects in various contexts, including historical, contemporary, and educational environments.
Mission
The mission of CtS_ColorLab is to support the redevelopment and conservation of building heritage, improving spatial perception and comfort through the use of color. The laboratory aims to strengthen awareness of place identity, integrating digital innovations and advanced methodologies to preserve and enhance the chromatic and structural characteristics of buildings.
Services
The laboratory offers services including advanced surveys, 3D modeling, development of color project guidelines, chromatic design for historical and contemporary buildings, and creating comfortable and functional educational environments and public spaces. Additionally, the laboratory produces educational content, organizes study days, and publishes articles and monographs for knowledge dissemination.
Design and Editorial Activities
CtS_ColorLab is involved in numerous design and editorial activities, developing color projects for architecture and design, with particular attention to historical and contemporary buildings. The laboratory collaborates in developing color project guidelines for urban and landscape contexts, and produces editorial content, such as articles in national and international journals, monographs, and an editorial series dedicated to design, environment, and landscape.
Third Mission
Within the framework of third mission activities, the laboratory promotes interaction between universities, schools, and communities, enhancing cultural and architectural heritage through educational processes and collaborative projects. CtS_ColorLab contributes to public training and awareness, strengthening the perception of cultural heritage as a strategic resource for territorial and social development.
