Color Planning in the Age of the Landscape Act

Abstract

The “Landscape Act” of Japan, effective from 2005, is the first act aimed at controlling the scenery in towns and villages. The Landscape Act regulates the color, design, form, and size of buildings and structures in order to create good-looking cities and towns.
Since the introduction of the Landscape Act most municipalities are creating their original Landscape plans and working to maintain beautiful scenery in their area.
We will report the color trend of large buildings and color planning after the Landscape Act through the result of exterior color research on condominium buildings from our study of color planning.
