A novel method for assessing the chromatic integration of architecture in the Ksourian landscape of Mzab Valley, Algeria

The present research, accordingly, addresses an investigation relying on a new methodic perspective, of the chromatic character of the Ksourian landscape of M'zab valley in Algeria which is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Using the Natural Color System (NCS), a natural palette (NP) has been conducted encapsulating 12 representative colors from the natural landscape of ...Daha fazlası
