As a play on transparency, the bridge between the two sections of the Niels Bohr Building is covered with two identical colour compositions - one on the inside linoleum flooring, and one on the outside facade panels underneath, facing the street. With a regard for both the architecture and the materials, the pattern is composed to mimic the structure of the building and form a connection between the outside and the inside.
