Color Psychology

Disc Shadow sets the weight of the palette in trust and stability, and Blob Dark is the swatch that breaks rank: a single indigo that stops the set reading as one note. Blob Dark to Sky Reflection spans 82 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Sky Reflection is the loudest thing in the set and it is still cool, so every accent the palette offers recedes rather than advances.

The Aesthetic

When software freed architects from the right angle - Greg Lynn's embryological housing experiments, FOA's Yokohama International Passenger Terminal as continuous landscape, and NOX's Son-O-House as pure computational biology.
