As background, breast care centers around the world vary in interior design based on geographical location and the trends of the healthcare design process at the time of construction. However, at the forefront of healthcare interior design is the evidence-based design (EBD) process and the Universal Design (UD) guidelines. The Center for Health Design states that the EBD process differs from the linear design process, in that EBD uses relevant evidence to educate and guide the design decisions. The objective of this study was to support future EBD and UD use in the development of patient areas in breast care center interior design. The methods for this study incorporated an extensive review of the literature, examples of eight breast care centers around the world, observations, an interview, and a staff survey concerning the interior design of a local breast care center. The results revealed that using the EBD process and UD, to develop guidelines for patient areas in breast care centers’ interior design, directors could use guidelines to evaluate existing breast care centers or preconstruction for new breast care centers. This study concluded with design guidelines for patient areas in breast care center interior design. The recommended guidelines targeted the following features: robes (vs. hospital gowns), spa-like atmosphere, monochromatic color scheme, use of wood and stone, private check-in areas, wayfinding, room temperature comfort, seating comfort, seating style choices including bariatric, personal items storage, access to natural light, indirect artificial lighting, living plants, views of nature, flooring comfort, and wheelchair accessibility.

Ochre-based pigments have been employed since the first artistic expressions of mankind, with widespread diffusion during the Roman civilization. Such prominent use influenced their technological development, focused on functional and aesthetic optimization through complex manufacturing procedures. Furthermore, their appearance is also influenced by degradation processes, sometimes driven by natural disasters such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, in which yellow ochres of Vesuvian sites were sometimes converted to red by thermal alteration. In this contribution, a multi-analytical approach was adopted based on preliminary non-invasive investigations complemented by laboratory analyses to characterize the painted surfaces of the tablinum of the House of the Bicentenary (Herculaneum) with a particular focus on the ochre-based monochrome backgrounds. The study was aimed at (a) reconstructing the original color scheme of the walls and (b) deciphering the complex decorative techniques adopted by Roman craftsmen. The analytical results allowed testing and defining analytical procedures for the discrimination between the original and converted red pigments. Furthermore, these studies indicated that specific decorative technologies were adopted according to aesthetic, functional, and economic purposes, including the utilization of various qualities of ochre with different compositional and textural properties, and the mixture of ochre pigments with other compounds.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to determine the degree of interaction of the eastern and western art schools in the practice of Kazakh design and to identify their role in the formation and development of design in Kazakhstan. Methodology: The study is based on a complex methodology determined by an interdisciplinary approach involving the use of the methods of historicism, systematization, stylistic analysis, and comparative analysis. The methodology was based on research concepts of T. Stepanskaya, R. Yergaliyeva, E. Balabekov, B. Amanov, A. Mukhambetova. Main Findings: Based on the studied sources, the authors can draw the following conclusions: 1) The interaction of artistic traditions of the East and West is due to the fundamental unity of the human race, ensuring the permeability of cultural boundaries; 2) The diversity of creative individuality, originality of modern approaches combined with the achievements of traditional culture are the distinguishing features of the professional values of contemporary Kazakh design. Applications of this study: Thus, the scientific and practical significance of the study consists in the fact that: - the results can be the basis for the development of lecture courses in the framework of educational programs of higher education institutions for the specialty “Design”; - the conclusions can serve as an impulse for creative development in the modern practice of transmitting national traditions in design. Novelty/Originality of this study: The originality of the research is associated with the identification of trends and prospects for the development of fashion, advertising, interior, and environmental design in the modern cultural environment of Kazakhstan, as well as the establishment of the importance of spiritual and aesthetic foundations of color scheme in the disclosure of the figurative components of design projects. The novelty of the research consists in determining the influence of the traditional color scheme of Kazakh decorative and applied arts on the shaping and color scheme in the products of modern design, many of which are the main bearers of the regional ethno-semantics.

В настоящей статье рассматривается хакасский традиционный праздничный костюм как культурный феномен и материальный носитель орнамента и прочих культурных кодов, знаковых для национальной идентичности. Проблема изучения и сохранения традиций в вышивке хакасских орнаментов заключается в старении мастеров и слабой преемственности поколений, а также в плохой сохранности текстильного материала в археологических находках. Цель автора заключается в систематизации видов хакасского криволинейного орнамента в народном костюме, а также в анализе орнамента как упорядоченной системы знаков, опирающейся на мифологические основания и константы этнической культуры. В результате автор отмечает в технологии хакасской вышивки несколько видов декоративных швов, общих для кочевых народов Средней Азии, Казахстана, Южной Сибири, Дальнего Востока и Китая. Определены цветовые решения контура и середины орнамента, техника выполнения и материал. В семантическом контексте орнамента отмечены растительные и зооморфные мотивы с устойчивыми художественными характеристиками. В статье описаны композиционные решения, цвет, ритм элементов орнамента в их символическом контексте. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы как в образовательных программах, так и в проектах по сохранению художественных ремесел и традиционной хакасской культуры в целом. The article is devoted to the Khakass traditional costume as a cultural phenomenon and a material carrier of ornament and other cultural codes that are symbolic for national identity. The problem of studying and preserving the traditions in embroidery of Khakass ornaments lies in the aging of craftsmen and poor continuity of generations, as well as in the poor preservation of textile material in archaeological finds. The purpose of the article is to systematize the types of the Khakass curved ornament in a folk costume, as well as to analyze the ornament as an ordered system of signs based on mythological foundations and constants of ethnic culture. As a result, the author notes in the Khakass embroidery technology several types of decorative seams common to the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, Kazakhstan, South Siberia, the Far East and China. The article identifies the color scheme of the contour and the middle of the ornament, the execution technique and the material. In the semantic context of the ornament, the author notes floral and zoomorphic motifs with stable artistic characteristics. The article describes compositional decisions, color, rhythm of elements of an ornament in their symbolic context. The results of the study are important for educational programs and can be used in projects to preserve art crafts and traditional Khakass culture in general.

True Colors

This chapter examines Guillaume de Machaut’s and Geoffrey Chaucer’s association of the color blue with fidelity and green with infidelity, a color scheme that derives from contemporary heraldry. The mid- to late fourteenth century witnessed a marked surge in the number of people commissioning coats of arms; this phenomenon lead to a number of high-profile lawsuits over cases of mistaken and fraudulent armigerous identity. Chaucer himself was a witness in one of these, Scrope v. Grosvenor (1385–1391). Machaut’s and Chaucer’s use of this metaphor is read through these lawsuits to show that the two poets use heraldic color to explore issues surrounding legal identity and social reputation in their texts. Delving into the historical relationship between heraldic law and intellectual property law, the chapter further shows that both poets use these colors to figure concerns over their authorial reputations and intellectual property.

This afterword uses the Episcopalian Church’s Gody Play story “The Circle of Time” to survey the essays in the volume. It discusses the color scheme for time in Anglican theology, linking the synaesthesia of temporalized hues to queer eroticism and focusing especially on the red “heat” of Pentecost, incarnation of the Holy Spirit. Using the work of José Esteban Muñoz, the essay links the incarnational to the performative in queer theory, suggesting that the transmittal of affect may be divine in the theological sense, whether or not participants believe in God. It asks whether the incarnational, the performative, and the queer might be linked by transfers of being and becoming of the sort epitomized by the Pentecostal Holy Spirit and described in many of the essays.
