This study proposes front colored glass for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems based on multi-layered derivatives of glass/MoO3/Al2O3 with a process technology developed to realize it. Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) layers are selected as suitable candidates to achieve thin multi-layer color films, owing to the large difference in their refractive indices. We first investigated from a simulation based on wave optics that the glass/MoO3/Al2O3 multi-layer type offers more color design freedom and a cheaper fabrication process when compared to the glass/Al2O3/MoO3 multi-layer type. Based on the simulation, bright blue and green were primarily fabricated on glass. It is further demonstrated that brighter colors, such as yellow and pink, can be achieved secondarily with glass/MoO3/Al2O3/MoO3 due to enhanced multi-interfacial reflections. The fabricated color glasses showed the desired optical properties with a maximum transmittance exceeding 80%. This technology exhibits promising potential in commercial BIPV system applications.

Architecture is the soul of city color. The planning focus of city color is city architecture, especially the planning control of the main wall color of street buildings. The design of architectural color should not only consider the surrounding environment of the building, the content of the building and the building materials, but also proceed from the aesthetic needs and conform to the principle of color engineering. On this basis, the plan proposes color design guidelines and relies on scientific and standardized “urban building color design guidelines” to achieve the purpose of maintaining the original appearance of history and creating a new era style. Besides the traditional buildings, the other “architectural color guidelines” should leave more room for manoeuvre and not restrict the creative thinking of architects.

Architectural design is one of those areas that have actively employed interactive design tools such as CAD/CAM software. In order to add a realistic view of the design results in the 3D work process, there have been several recent attempts to employ a virtual reality technology that allows architects to explore design in 3D space. However, VR’s weakness is that common interaction tasks, such as navigation and selection, are still not supported conveniently in 3D space. In addition, VR devices are generally unfamiliar to the average person and are too expensive to use. This paper presents a VR framework that makes the design task easily achieved by employing a PDA interface for a VR interaction applied to street-view emotional color design problems.

To achieve efficient and environmental reuse of waste ribbons, artworks reconstructed from waste ribbons for decorative occasions were inspired by the dedicated and determined people working against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and developed through a handmade and delicate strategy. With the theme of ‘Ordinary * Extraordinary,’ the artworks aim to convey endless positive energy and hope to people suffering from COVID-19. To fulfill the art reconstruction, the design idea, composition design and color design were comprehensively considered and carefully described. The artworks were applied for decoration in hospital wards and the home environment. Their composition and color gave medical workers, patients and ordinary people suffering from COVID-19 a sense of comfort and warmth. All positive energy from our artworks accompanied people and encouraged them never to give up and overcome COVID-19. The art reconstruction of waste ribbons proposed in this study may provide an excellent way for the reuse of waste ribbons. More importantly, it improves the added value of products and strengthens people's determination to overcome COVID-19.

The Guangzhou Subway System adopts a planning scheme that guides passengers through a system of symbolic colors for its routes. However, the designers seem to have neglected color blind's difficulty in distinguishing some hues when selecting the routes' symbolic colors, which suggests that color universal design theories are not properly applied in their design work. This research aims at evaluating Guangzhou Subway’s symbolic color and guidance system from the color universal design perspective. We use the Vischeck[1] to simulate and analyze the practical situation. In accordance with the analysis, solutions are recommended.
