    This communication shows the results of a research on the color of glazed ceramic tiles, applied in indoor and outdoor surfaces of one of the most distinctive modernist buildings of the city of Valencia (Spain), the Central Market (1914-1928). This building, used for trade of food, is located in the historical center area of the city and was designed by architects Alejandro Soler i March and Francisco Guardia i Vial. It is a great architectural space in which it takes place the ancient ceremony of the sale of foodstuffs, which is an experience for the senses, and thanks to colour, also a visual delight. The study analyzes the situation, distribution and composition of the ceramic pieces of the building, by its graphic lifting, and a typological, chromatic and computer aided analysis, obtaining a novel colour chart, with was never done before. The creation of this chart has been very useful for the restoration process which has recently been done. It is noteworthy in this investigation, and as a result, the dominant colour in each of the central market areas, both on the exterior surfaces and inner spaces, as tiles represent a significant percentage of them. The study of chromatic parameters, graphic analysis of the ceramics, its compositions and location, has provided and extended the study of this ancient building and has served as a basis for its recently completed restoration, as mentioned before. The location and morphological analysis of ornamental ceramic coatings, done in this research, has allowed the cataloguing of the iconology, which is very representative of the modernist language, chronological period when the market was built. It has also been observed the high ornamental value of the different market segments, attending to its compositional features and consistent with the functional zoning.

    The colour of food: last layer on the palimpsest of St. Caterina markect in Barcelona
    (Universidad Nacional Mar de la Plata, Grupo Argentino de Color, 2010) Serra Lluch, Juan de Ribera; Gilabert Ferrer, Salvador; Torres Barchino, Ana María; Llopis Verdú, Jorge; García Codoñer, Ángela; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio; Abastecedora Gráfica S.A.; International Association of Color Manufacturers; Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina; Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica, Argentina; Fundación Gutenberg
    Throughout history, food has been an outstanding artistic inspiration source for many artistic disciplines, used as an argument to train with colour. The presence of food as a decorative element in architecture goes beyond a simple functional relationship with the use of space and is a useful tool for organizing colour composition. Examples include colored cornucopias of classical architecture, Biblical food in medieval fresco paintings (grape, bread, fish, etc.), painted still life in illustrated housing, glazed ceramics in modernist markets, etc. This research aims to understand in depth the colour composition of a contemporary building, the St. Caterina Market (Barcelona, 2004) by architect Benedetta Tagliabue, who develops a poetic reinterpretation of the colours of a food stall. We investigate the colour of the building at three levels. Firstly through the identification of physical reality: the colorimetric characteristics of the tiles, their proportion and distribution, etc. Secondly, through the analysis of the compositional strategies and means, covering the different stages of the designing process: the choice of an interesting visual reference, digital image processing, three-dimensional projections, technology for colour reproduction, craftsmanship work, construction, etc. Finally, describing the intentions that encourage the provision of colours, and have been expressed by the architect herself, with whom we maintain a close working relationship. The result is a building understood as a palimpsest, which shows the accumulation of the various historical facts as strata. The substrate corresponding to the contemporaneousness is the roof, which plays virtually the chromatic experiences that take place in the inner space, and stages the lower level. The colour of a market that is transparent, thanks to technology, to express a final image, as a tele-reality. An interesting thought about contemporary perception, that blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction.
