ARCHITECT'S DRESS CODE

Architect’s Dress Code‏

I received an email with the subject ‘architect’s dress code‏’ from Tengyuen Ngan. He found photos on google and he compiled them on list so now it is easy to see that the most favorite color for architects to wear is Black.

Apart from their dress code, the other similarities among the male architects are either bald or balding.

Comment by Can Wg on November 24, 2009 at 10:47pm: but why is that? why normally do they wear in black? it symbolizes that they will use color more cautiously?

Comment by Carlo Fantacci on May 11, 2009 at 4:20pm: The color of the clothes should not contaminate the color of the ideas.
For example the first photographs of architecture were strictly black and white. Black and white is also the contrast betwen light and darkness.
Probabily is also a code.

Comment by Laura Aquino on February 7, 2009 at 12:19pm: Michaelangelo was a big fan of the black-wearing-fashion-movement... and kept the color on his work...

Comment by Laura Aquino on February 7, 2009 at 12:12pm: I wonder what Gaudi would wear. I'm sure he liked black too.

Comment by Laura Aquino on February 7, 2009 at 12:09pm: Wearing black for artists and architects has been a centuries-old tradition. It was very common amongst the artists in Florence back in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period. This is not something new. Apparently they liked to keep their color on their works. We might still be living in the "Wear black, design white" motto of Modernism, but we can find some quite colorful people out there.
