Landsbyen i skolen. Site-specific colour project. Colour and material concept in the transformation of a public village school into a civic center.
The colour scheme emphasizes the design of the rooms, inspires creativity and movement and counselor for use and orientation in the building. The colour palette refers to colours used in this type of buildings in the 60’s. Existing doors with original signage and tiles left on the walls bear witness to past use.
Developing the colour project was done in close cooperation with the developer, users and stakeholders. 
With the participation of Videbæk local community, Erik Brandt Dam architects and Cornelius+Vöge have renovated an abandoned school to create a civic center. Nr. Vium School was built in 1966 and closed down in 2008. In 2010 the citizens bought the empty buildings in order to develop a village in the school as a framework for everyday and leisure life in the parish.
