Colour is often a problematic subject for architects; relegated often to a matter of subjective taste or considered decorative and superficial . This thesis merges colour and architecture through drawing, proposing a hyper-synesthetic environment. Rendered in different chromatic values, tectonic fragments explore sensorial possibilities that draw out both the conscious and subconscious meanings gleaned from a range of habitual and traditional associations. These representations celebrate and inspire the use of colour as a method of visualizing sensations and challenging conventions of comfort and taste to which architects have often defaulted. 

My thesis establish an integrated colour wheel that shows the full spectrum of human sensations and applying them as a tool for analyzing building characteristics, symbolic forms and cultural notations in the context of Urban Villages in Shenzhen where colour had been widely used in its architecture and life scenes in the past. My project is not an urban design project, but aiming to create a set of new expressions through innovative colour representations. To extract idealized abstract forms base on its meaning and history behind the use of colour, identify and break down the forms in parts, then constructing these parts into an entity that expresses possible materiality, movement, balance and portion.
色彩在建筑实践中往往被视为一种附属性的设计因素，常被简化为审美偏好或表层装饰的问题。然而，色彩不仅塑造建筑的视觉形象，更深刻地影响人们对空间的感知方式、情绪体验以及与环境之间的文化联结。本课题试图重新审视色彩在建筑中的角色，将其视为一种具有感知性与表达力的设计工具，而非单纯的装饰手段。

本项目通过绘画与色彩分解的方式，将建筑构件转化为具有不同色相、明度与饱和度的构成片段，从而探索色彩在表达温度、节奏、平衡、运动感及心理暗示等方面的潜力。这些色彩化的建筑表达不仅关注人的直接感受，也触及潜意识中由长期经验、社会习俗与文化记忆所形成的色彩联想。

研究以深圳城中村为具体语境。作为一种高度密集、快速生长的城市形态，城中村在建筑立面、街道空间及日常生活场景中长期大量使用色彩，使其成为理解色彩与城市生活关系的重要案例。通过对这一语境的分析，项目构建了一套整合性的“色彩感知体系”，尝试将色彩与建筑特征、象征形式及文化符号之间的关系进行系统化梳理。

本研究并非提出新的城市设计或空间更新策略，而是通过色彩的重新表达，探索建筑形式生成的另一种可能路径。项目从色彩背后的意义与历史出发，提取并抽象建筑形态，将其拆解为基本构成单元，并重新组合为能够表达潜在材料性、结构张力、空间比例与动态平衡的整体。通过这一过程，色彩被用作一种分析与生成并行的工具，挑战建筑设计中对“舒适”“得体”与“品味”的既有惯性认知。
