THE TOPIC OF THIS EVENT

2024 Nov 9^th #1 of 6: Exterior Color Schemes for Period Homes

• Every style of architecture typically used color in a different way. Architects and property owners grew tired of the same design and the same colors for their home or property. Residences, commercial properties, churches all had a particular way of relating to design. Come see how a professional details the use of color in a sometimes-humorous way to help solve the problem of what group of colors and what details represent good design for any style of architecture. With a background as a Preservation Architect and past Staff Architect of the Kansas City Landmarks Commission Paul will lead us on an eventful PowerPoint presentation that is sure to impress and sure to lead us in a more appropriate way of seeing the designed environment around us.
