Colour and Lighting Design: Impact on Wellbeing, Health and Work Motivation

Colour is the largest and most powerful communication system in nature and culture. Colour vision is so important to our species that it takes up most of our brain capacity. The multiple effects of colour on human experience and behaviour are at the heart of modern, evidence-based colour psychology.

Using examples from his research and design practice, Prof Dr Axel Buether will demonstrate the influence of light and colour on people's well-being, health, satisfaction and motivation to work. The projects presented and the accompanying studies will also demonstrate how these effects can be systematically planned and evaluated.
