The majority of urban city centres are formed by an anonymous and non-traditional architecture which are often subject to
reparations performed without detailed supervision, skilled action or technical control. This creates not only
imbalances aesthetically but poses safety risks that are potentially quite serious. Fortunately society is changing and this
tendency is decreasing. The special plans, decrees for the urban landscape and facultative directions now demanded under municipal
laws ensure that an increasing number of projects include guidelines relating to the maintenance of the facades. In this way, it is
increasingly common for contractors to forsee what materials and colours to utilize before constructing, restoring or painting of
a facade is undertaken.
The 'chromatic studies' specify exactly these factors - clarifying unknown factors and avoiding future
arguments among neighbours, administrative conditions or imbalanced budgets.
Such studies can be effected on facades as well as interiors, in the restoration of existing buildings or in
projects of new building work.
