Beautification of the Tama-River embankment is currently in the planning stage . The Shin-yurigaoka station area 47 hectares of land readjustment were completed in1984. The urban design guidelines include set back, color, billboard and greenery requirements which were made for this area in 1984. Although the bay industrial area is vital to Kawasaki city,its image is still confined to monotonous gray buildings and factories. The buildings or factory facilities are generally painted every 7 or 8 years.
Paint offers enormous effects.
Not only does it protect the exteriors of the buildings or the surfaces of the facilities, it transforms the way we see them so that even their structures can appear changed. Choosing one hue from the spectrum ,such as red,yellow, green, blue or purple,we are to design based on the harmony of the same or analogical hues. The base colors mean the colors which are used for the walls of buildings,tanks, silos or chimneys etc. On the other hand,the accent colors define the contrast colors which are used for the smaller parts. In the non-designated color design area ,accent colors are limited to the same hue.
