Abstract

Attempts to develop colour photography had been undertaken since the invention of the medium, but it was only with the introduction of the Kodachrome transparency film in 1935, followed by Kodacolor negative stock in 1942, that a major breakthrough was achieved. Although these processes later became mainstream in architectural photography, there has been no clear account of its origins in practice. The aim of this paper is to explore the connection between the chromatic values of architectural design and its visual transmission in the early phase of modernism.
