This volume presents a compilation of papers focused on the phenomenology of colour in both architecture and sculpture. It specifically highlights interactions of polychromy within spatial settings, as well as architecture and sculpture’s shared technological and artistic knowledge base. Research on ancient polychromy has evolved significantly since the first scientific pigment analyses in the 1830s, and the «International Round Table on Polychromy in Ancient Architecture and Sculpture», established in 2009, serves as a testament to this progress. The present volume features a selection of papers from the 10th Meeting of the International Round Table, jointly hosted by the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin (DAI) and the Antikensammlung Berlin in 2020. The case studies and comprehensive analyses presented range chronologically from the Greek Archaic to the Medieval periods, and cover a geographic range that includes the Mediterranean Basin and Great Britain. Papers explore various themes, such as the potential of spatial re-contextualisations to offer new insights into colour choices and materials, the dynamics of colour as a medium influencing form and synaesthetics, as well as symbolisms and meanings, particularly in the use of specific colours such as purple, black, gold, and blue. Additionally, a final section on ongoing museum research showcases ground-breaking polychromy studies and experimental visualisation strategies. This volume reflects a collaborative effort to move beyond the traditional academic separation of architecture and sculpture. It advocates for viewing colour (and surface treatments in general) as enduring interfaces between architecture and sculpture, emphasising conceptual and technological connections that challenge conventional taxonomies.
