Strong Colors, Used In Place of Cornices,
Accentuate Hig her Parts of Buildings

out that designers of many or the
newer buildings already are employing
color treatment.
In the working out of such treat
ment, the higher portions OF the build
ing are frequently given the stronger
colors. This places the accent on the
upper part of the structure, and pro-
duces practically the same effect as
cornice. In other instances, similar
results are being obtained by the use
of low relief friezes in bright colored
terra Gotta. with dark background,
giving the appearance of shadow.
The report warned against a lack OF
"rea sonable ornamentation," lest
structures be made to look like rae
tories, instead of apartments ana
Office buildings.
