No less attention-grabbing than red or yellow, however, orange\u2019s subconscious claims imbue it with a sense of life and vitality, and as such it can have a considerable effect in architecturally scaled applications.<\/p>\n<p>The projects in this collection all telegraph a sense of life and vitality to their occupants. Regardless of the intentions of the designer, this color\u2019s associations with life-lusting vigor are present wherever it is used. It may inspire strength or courage in the people who use these buildings \u2014 or at least get them thinking about it. In any case, the subconscious associations of color is something that building occupants pick up on, whether they realize it or not, and as evidenced below, orange is no exception.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/51f74ae4.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/51f74ae4.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/51f74ae4.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/51f74ae4.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/51f74ae4.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/51f74ae4.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Jakob + MacFarlane\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Jakob + MacFarlane<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/ae6ae0ee.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/ae6ae0ee.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/ae6ae0ee.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/ae6ae0ee.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/ae6ae0ee.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/112011\/ae6ae0ee.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Jakob + MacFarlane\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Jakob + MacFarlane<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1463494001940009d7359600a65d04ad897ad49387c6f.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1463494001940009d7359600a65d04ad897ad49387c6f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1463494001940009d7359600a65d04ad897ad49387c6f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1463494001940009d7359600a65d04ad897ad49387c6f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1463494001940009d7359600a65d04ad897ad49387c6f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1463494001940009d7359600a65d04ad897ad49387c6f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/the-orange-cube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>The Orange Cube<\/b><\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/jakobmacfarlane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jakob+MacFarlane<\/a>, Lyon, France<\/p>\n<p>Orange was used throughout this project to commemorate the site\u2019s industrial past, and is intended to act as a reference to lead paint \u2014 a former staple in dockside areas such as this.
