WEEKEND READING: "The Color Black: Antinomies of a Color in Architecture and Art",
MACK Books (2024)

This book offers a profound and visually rich exploration of the colour black in art and architecture. It features two essays: one by architect and critic Mohsen Mostafavi, the other by art historian Max Raphael.

Mostafavi reveals how black operates as both a visual language and a conceptual force — at once emotional, political, and spatial.
Max Raphael approaches black empirically. His observations of Old Masters propose a radical theory of form that continues to resonate with contemporary architects and artists alike.

This is not just a book about colour. It’s a book about how ideas travel — across disciplines, geographies, and generations.
