In many studies about Bruno Taut, the color of Bruno Taut's architecture seemed to be recognised as one of the characteristic which represented the 'visionary' 'fantastic', that was restricted within his expressionist era. Recently Dr. M. Speidel has stated his study about painting works of Taut. In this, Speidel come to the conclusion that the color of Taut's architecture originates from his landscape paintings in his early years, is not limited in his expressionist era, but the theme of his creative architecture that express the architecture by some colors. This paper is enlightened by the above-mentioned research, and considers Taut's color concerning some forms of architecture as an additional viewpoint. What was the architecture that Taut looked for, and in that architecture what kind of role the color played? By tracing the developement of color in Taut's architecture, and examining the color as an architectural technique, to think the color of Taut's architecture from a different standpoint is the aim of this paper.
