GREEN. the use of this color is so direct that we almost never ask ourselves about its meaning. green is simply green, it is the vegetal world, or even the natural world "tout court".
but ofcourse this idea is too superficial. the green is above all in our imagination and in our gazes, fed by the images that slip across our screens or are printed out on paper.
in addition, green sneaks into the background of a great many plans and maps characterized by other colors, other destinations.
finally every color would have to declare its percentage of green. in particular, green occupies a great many of the background patterns used on maps since the second world war to indicate the zones of new residential suburban construction and the new zones of low density "rurban" inhabitation, which form a constant in the contemporary european landscape.
