Abstract What is it with architects and their obsession with white, clean and neat architecture? The world is, after all, colourful and messy. Carolyn L Kane runs us through some of her recent research and analysis on light, colour, contemporary real and virtual urban aesthetics and their joyful animation, while exposing a problematic architectural history that has persisted for over a century.
