Emmanuelle Moureaux: 100 Colors Lab Emmanuelle Moureaux born in 1971, is a French architect living in Tokyo since 1996, where she established “ emmanuelle moureaux architecture + design ” in 2003. Inspired by the layers and colors of Tokyo that built a complex depth and density on the street, and the Japanese traditional spatial elements like sliding screens, she has created the concept of shikiri , which literally means “dividing (creating) space with colors”. She uses colors as three-dimensional elements, like layers, in order to create spaces, not as a finishing touch applied on surfaces. Handling colors as a medium to compose space, her wish is to give emotion through colors with her creations, which range from art, design to architecture.
