The Post Soviet Experiment With Color Coordination

Odessa State Economics University Posted by Hello

Yes, for all those neo-conservatives out there, it is true, economic planners left nothing to chance - they planned everything and attempted to direct every single aspect of lives including the color of buildings. This is the entrance to the Odessa State Economics University, where I work this year in Odessa, Ukraine. If you thought economists were bland, judging from the color here there is evidence to think otherwise. I am absolutely stunned with the experimentation going on everywhere in this city with bright, bold colors. Rather than wait for nature to make the building the color it would be, people actually took initiative, chose a color, and painted it on. Somehow I think it looks better than it would had the exterior been left cement like shades of grey. Why wait for progress?
