Do architects really wear too much black in their daily lives? I’m sure that’s not true. Is it? And if it is why just black? Is it a fashion thing or is there a deep routed unconscious behavior that all designers pick up? Well I am trying to find the answers, and you are coming on this journey with me.

@benjackson103 2 года назад

This is so crazy because I wear black every day and I am a advertising creative and architectural designer. Everyone in the ad business also wears black. I think it’s the color of Creatives. I also heard some thing about there was this movement of Creatives that only wore black. I love black and started wearing it unconsciously. Had no idea it was a trend until I already started doing it LOL

@fz1792 2 года назад

I love to wear black, I love how it goes well with Almost everything

@tanmayroy6823 2 года назад

Yeah almost every alternate day. My reason black and grey are easiest to shop & saves my energy everyday.

@namrausmaniy8974 2 года назад

I'm an interior designer and I've came to realised that I started wearing black more often than before I came into this field. I think it's safe and comfortable and tough. my favourite colour is pink but I think black has became my go-to colour now

@anacossa8437 2 года назад

Yes I like Pink too but Black is pratical 👌

@adeadelowo2110 2 года назад

We use to use black drawing pens that tend to stain cloths ,and black commands respect and easily transfers from day to night time, boardroom to building site.

@AaryanJain_ 2 года назад

true

@Manulajes 2 года назад

I think because Architects deal with colours and the environment basically everyday of their life that they choose to express the colours on their projects rather than on themselves.

@nicodemussainath1446 2 года назад

Black indicates the empty space where we can design anything... Ofcourse this is not the exact reason to wear black... But simply love to wear black and also inspired by many great Architects.

@roopals.7543 2 года назад

I personally think that creativity is subjective, creatives tend to showcase themselves as their art. Also, it’s less distracting to your thoughts. When you are thinking and taking decisions often which involves textures, colors, etc… you don’t want your clients to get distracted from your outfits because what if they pick something from your outfit!

@upasanapandey1358 2 года назад

I am wearing black rn! The other reason to wearing black is because it does not highlight shadows. It looks clean and lean. In black one doesn't cares about how their dresses folds and what shadows or bumps are highlighted. A reason for me choosing black outfits over lighter ones.

I'm a 3rd year Architecture student at NITH and I already have 2 pairs of black polo shirts, 4 black trousers, a couple of black formal shirts and 2 black suits and I also didn't notice, figure out to be precise, that all my footwear are black too. I didn't think about the earlier but this seem to coming subconsciously to existence and it's cool.

@jayjay-fm4jr 2 года назад

love the energy in your videos it literally gave me the motivation to work and it's 5 am over here

@sugarkiddo 2 года назад

I mean I never wondered why I always go for dark colors. You make me think about my life's choices hihihi. P.s. The only recognizable colors by the council of fashion cells in my brain are White, Navy blue and Grey.💁🏻‍♂️

@AxDesignConstruction 2 года назад

Wearing black shows more professionalism and seriousness, and when an architect talks about a plan or a design, they put a more serious persona that is driven with passion

@YashikaAggarwal04 2 года назад

Lol. I'm wearing black too rn. And it's not just about architects and designers really. I believe black is a choice for all the creative minds out there in whatever field they are. Personally the reason I love to wear black is it's always classy😎 (yeah it has black sunglasses too), and also one does not have to spend their brain and time in selecting a suitable combination 😂. This was actually an interesting topic to hear and discuss. Keep making such videos.

@shaistaghazali1443 2 года назад

I realized I do wear black often, as often as always, although I have no conscious reason as such, but when I think about it, it's safe, versatile and doesn't give away much, so a sense of mystery is conveyed, but all of this is very very subjective and subconscious. Also, I love black.

@nayanpawar6375 2 года назад

My cringe poetic alert* They say we wear black as an Architect!. Our Talent is like a chalk on a black slate!. even Workspace is black on cad from autodesk!. Apparently black is not a colour by physics, I realised it late!. coz the reason is given that it absorbs all colours visible spectrum which doesn't reflect!.

@avieladartandarchitecture3696 2 года назад

very nice perception!

@AgentAO7 Год назад

Im an Architect and Black has always been my favorite since I was a kid.. Most of my wardrobe is black. 90% of it. And others would be grey or white or dark blues. Even my home mostly has black on it. White walls, white ceiling, but black furniture, appliances.. Even my car is Black. I just love Black. I guess it’s because Black is very neutral & you don’t have to worry about getting dirty. Compared to White.. Black is also a symbol of elegance. And for clothes, it does highlight your facial/body features.. and it’s very easy to pair with anything. In my line of work, sometimes you go to 3 different places in a day. Office, Client, Site. During those days, you’re all set to go. And even after work, there are times you needed to go out, have some drinks or dinner date with someone, you can just go straight away without the need to change outfit. As long as you still smell good. 😅

@gonzalovelascomcr 2 года назад

I mostly wear black, white (just shirts) and a bit of grey.

@archontiamanolakelli 2 года назад

It's an interesting question and I think my answer to it has changed over time. I was wearing almost exclusively black even before I started architecture school so I don't think that was the initial influence. At that time it was more of a fashion choice that reflected the music and alternative culture I was into and I would probably tell you as much if you had asked me then. Nowadays it is more of a functional choice as I don't need to think too much about matching different colours and accessories and makeup etc. Decision fatigue is a real thing so black is my comfort colour in that sense. Black is also associated with mystery, authority, elegance as well as eccentricity and "edginess", for lack of a better word, and it is portrayed as such in pop culture that a lot of us have grown up with. So I wouldn't be surprised if on a subconscious level a lot of architects want to adhere to these qualities by choosing black. Who knows.

@1xm_mx1 2 года назад

Its true. It is not about the color as much as it is about not having to choose every day - it takes time and energy choosing clothes, and we really don't want to spend that time on trivial things. I used to wear only black and white (white shirt and black pants) when I was on a 9 to 5 schedule. I don't do that anymore now that my schedule is flexible. For me it was for functional reasons.

@larryshepherd2045 Год назад

Black allows me to stay focused on the work at hand and stay less distracted, this in turn directs my energy on what matters.

@mre.smataruka4928 Год назад

I buy black shoes and black pants then different colored shirts/t-shirts but mostly monochrome. Spending less time and energy on choosing what to wear is definitely one of the main reasons because everything you have will go well with each other.

@juliemclean6266 Год назад

Thankyou for this video. Almost every item of clothing of mine is black 👍 I think it is for purely practical reasons but do like the answer brought out in this video that maybe I am in mourning for my unrealised projects and unfulfilled expectations 😂 I thought that is a good answer, thanks again for the video.👍

@AGAINSTvsCONTRA Год назад

Handling the statement that black is super functional as a fact baffles me a bit. Colours as well as non-colours do not automatically match with itself or produce a desirable picture, do they? Imagine yellow top and yellow bottom. Or blue top and blue bottom. There surely are some deeper principles of design, that apply wearing all black. Exept from that, I think the reasons for architects going all black are multifarious and often super blended, lots of them were already mentioned in this cool video. I think the present style is rooted in all of these different truths. I would like to add the idea of elegance aka sanctity of black that could arise from priestly robes. Think of the standing collars too, lol

@ashutoshlohana2784 2 года назад

@3dworld617 2 года назад

Im an architectural designer. I wear black topi, shirt, pants shoe even watch with black straps 😂😂 it's looks amazing and highlight your face or particular thing which you want to highlight. Even if you create simple square shape white ceiling just give it 2" black boarder in minus this will highlight your ceiling better. Even you can take floor reference white satvariyo stone with black 4" square Boarder near corners. If you wear black shirt it's highlights your face even if you have brown colour skin.

@sihambns4868 2 года назад

In my opinion, black is a mysterious colour, just like the space is. It makes the person thinking, wondering, and focusing on your speech. Black changed my view about the world. It made me a better person, boosted my curiousity, and creativity as a result. Black is powerful. Black is perfect just like the space is.

@shru5102 2 года назад

i loved black ,, i agree thats unconcious desigion

@markmraven Год назад

I thought it was because it looks scholarly (remember, when professors wore black robes). Judges, and priests, still wear black robes. "Architect" is sometimes used to mean "mastermind". In Victorian England, architecture was a gentleman's profession (gentlemen/women were the trust fund babies of the era)

@fsa8975 2 года назад

I’m an architecture student and I already wear black every time I go out.. well there are several reasons why .. I feel like black is a very interesting color it’s very mysterious.. it can go with anything any shoes and any accessory .. and the best thing I like about it is the contrast.. everything pops up once you put it on a black background.. as was mentioned in the video it almost frames the object.. so I like to wear black jeans and tshirt and then wear a colorful shoes or jacket or accessory.. even gold one which are my favorite cause it shows class.. and they will pop up!!

@rosegoldco.9874 2 года назад

Black has versatility. It goes with everything.I don't think I've clothes of other colours more than Black. I love Black.

As a print pattern designer, i think black is the grave of ornaments because life is all about colors. It surely dresses well but still i couldn’t fathom living without playing with colors.

@drashtikamani3051 2 года назад

While online shopping, if they have multiple colors, I only look for black, grey and white, IDK how? And why but I do this, and its may be I don't want to spend time choosing color....

@siennavera3382 2 года назад

Well it comes to my mind that black it’s the mix of all the colors together. So thinking in a poetic way, I guess they want to express that as artists they have all the colors with them and their work it’s the expression of all this colors. I don’t know? Maybe it’s silly but for me make sense hahaha

@bazithkhan3235 Год назад

It's nice

@djidjibridge9417 2 года назад

in a design field, our main goal is to provide solutions, hence making things simple is naturally subconscious to us, simple colors are our go to colors, black, white, beige; black is even more convenient coz it conceals dirt, diverts attention away from yourself and left the center stage to what matters. design design design

@dhritinadir5267 2 года назад

This was such a fascinating video - so glad I clicked on it! I tend to wear more colour than black in India. When I was studying in Europe, I realized that I dressed more in black because that's how I saw the people around me dress. Even a short duration like a semester exchange programme led me to repeat the blacks in my closet. Perhaps I subconsciously pick up on the colours around me. "When in Rome!"

@andrewmiller9207 Год назад

The black hid all my stains from not having time to do my laundry due to all the unpaid overtime I had to do....

@harperwelch5147 Год назад

It’s because they’re afraid of anything “fashion” related. Their design sensibilities are very sensitive about being too trendy or risk making a statement. They play it safe.

@SurasmitaMeher-ch3lo 2 года назад

I wish you were wearing black in the vid itself! I have been wearing black my whole short life. Before I knew I am gonna be an architect and more so after I got into architecture. I would say it's easy to pull off, black lets me stand out instead of being too loud itself and everyonr look bomb in black. That's all there that is to it. Black is easy to style, you don't have to worry about combination, less thinking time required. It's amazing.

@sourav6424 2 года назад

Since last 6 years i had quit wearing denims and switched to chinos and that too Only black, later on after 3-4 years i cen tried change it with some other color or try denims, but that felt disgusting and i went back to my comfy black chinos only. For me the reason i only have blacks because it feels comfertable to me and i guess for everyones eyes too.

I'm also wearing black rn! I believe that black is not much dominating but still good choice to wear. It's kinda passionate colour.But I do love black and white both.But in clothing I prefer black only.But on digital media like background of any image or anything I like white. it's just beautiful colour. But what I believe is every colour is beautiful and has it's own meaning.

@ar.heenafathima1332 2 года назад

I do too ....and I have no idea why

@areebabbasi1297 2 года назад

After taking decisions on all those color combinations all the time my eyes as an architect try to get away from those colors, usual color left out due to this would be black, you don't see it in much design except as a border or some small element. So the white and grey also get used in designs but not black. So architects, whenever they have the choice, they use black be it in clothing, presentations, or trivial color choices.

@apoorvav9539 2 года назад

Black coloured clothing doesn't show wrinkles or spills easily. So people pulling off all-nighters can look fresh and well-groomed with the least bit of effort. Also, the high contrast brightens up tired, sleep-deprived faces.

Another possible explanation is that they tend to look at everything as a designer and as they don't want to invest time thinking about it they prefer to wear something simple and neutral but sleek instead of risking a "madiocre design".
