Abstract

This paper presents the results of a Daylight P.O.E. research undertaken in an office building in the city of Biskra, Algeria. The field work took place during summer in the building of La Caisse Nationale de l’Assurance Sociale (a major state insurance company) and twenty four office (42% of the total number of offices) were studied. The present results are mainly dealing with the topic of colours. The collected data was examined by means of statistical analysis methods. The results of this research work provide information on the state of colour design in a recent kind of buildings. Also, it reveals occupants’ relationships to colours and gives by the way a first idea about could be called ‘contemporary colour culture’ in a particular, but large area from the Islamic world. Furthermore, its outcomes should constitute a nowadays reference for office design in Saharan Desert context.
