碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 建築系建築及都市設計碩博士班 === 105 === In the fields of studies relating to the architecture and space design, coloring in an architectural space is an issue that has received great interest and generated much discussion lately. Color design brings enrichment and diversity to an architectural space as the arrangement of warm and cool colors as well as the choice of color saturation, brightness and opaqueness are questions of no definite answers. But most studies limit the discussion to the arrangement and application of colors and rarely touch on the subject as to how the colors in an architectural space may be articulated in a language that is easy to understand, making it hard to communicate issues in this field. This study will interpret the coloring in a space from the perspective of a membership function values as a concept under the fuzzy theory. In addition, findings of a questionnaire on the users’ perception of the coloring in a space are reported and quantitatively analyzed. The objective and purpose of the study are as follows: 1) Analyze how colors can be interpreted based on the fuzzy theory; 2) Investigate the qualities of the colors in a space and develop a space coloring evaluation model, which can in turn be used by architects or interior designers as they work on a design; 3) Study the users’ perception on the coloring in a space through survey questionnaire and statistical theory. The study seeks to interpret colors using the fuzzy logic as part of the artificial intelligence and coloring in a space using the membership function values. The study also uses 13 architectural spaces on the campus of Chaoyang University of Technology as samples and calculates the membership function values of the individual spaces. With the 13 samples from Chaoyang University of Technology, the study finds that an architectural space with color hues having membership function values between 1 and 0.6 (warmer shades) is perceived to be “passionate and vibrant”, “warm and cheerful” and “happy and lively” by its users. For spaces with color hues having membership function values between 0.6 and 0.4 (neutral shades), the users tend to perceive them to be “sprightly and fresh”, “gentle and refreshing “and “refined and rational”. Architectural spaces with color hues having membership function values between 0.4 and 0 (cool shades) are perceived to be “peaceful and enthusiastic”, “placid” and “open and expansive”. The study finds that the coloring of the architectural spaces may be objectively interpreted using the membership function values. The finding confirms the hypothesis of the study. The study findings provide a tool for use by architects or interior designers in respect to design planning and, additionally, enable effective communication with the space users, fulfilling the purpose of design in respect to spatial coloring.
