As generally positive attributes, these qualities make green a popular choice in mainstream culture \u2014 a mere utterance of the word itself carries with it connotations of environmental stewardship and responsibility, a notion that greatly influences the way we react upon seeing it.<\/p>\n<p>In an aesthetic sense, these qualities can be especially helpful in a composition, used to emphasize or even manufacture a sense of balance and harmony in a work that may otherwise be lacking it. As the projects below demonstrate, this color is often employed to invoke nature when it isn&#8217;t there, or to tie together a disparate program or set of forms. These projects serve as reminders that a design move as simple as color choice (and the extent and placement of that color) has fundamental implications for how a building is perceived, and should be held in equal regard to elements such as structure and form as a primary compositional item.<\/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\/482009\/f6484c62.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\/482009\/f6484c62.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\/482009\/f6484c62.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\/482009\/f6484c62.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\/482009\/f6484c62.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\/482009\/f6484c62.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 SOMOS.arquitectos\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 SOMOS.arquitectos<\/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\/482009\/3f22870a.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\/482009\/3f22870a.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\/482009\/3f22870a.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\/482009\/3f22870a.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\/482009\/3f22870a.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\/482009\/3f22870a.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 SOMOS.arquitectos\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 SOMOS.arquitectos<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/123-social-green-housing-in-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">123 social green housing<\/a><\/strong> by <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/somosarquitectos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOMOS.arquitectos<\/a>, Madrid, Spain<\/p>\n<p>A system of green polycarbonate panels make up the fa\u00e7ade of this social housing project in Spain.
