Color Model Environments is a timely and important landmark because of its major contribution to the interdisciplinary design dialogue. Its central purpose is threefold: to present a structural order underlying the effective use of color and light; to communicate this order based on three-dimensional design principles; and to relate these aspects to the planning stages and concepts for model forms used by students and professionals in several design disciplines.
