Project

Based on painting as an expanded field, Malene Bach has devised a bold palette of colours and aesthetic design of the elements that comprise all buildings: doors, floors, stairs and walls. The design consists of several elements which connect to the main feature of a double-layered wall of sliding colour panels: the colour scheme of the staircases, the floors in the canteen, graphic designs on glass walls, signage, the curation of UCL’s existing art collection, and the landmark outside the main entrance. 
The five colour palettes of the sliding wall panels outside the five blocks in the south wing constitute a wayfinding system repeated in the colour scheme of the signage and staircases.
The implementation and coordination of the project was done in collaboration with UCL and Cubo Arkitekter, who designed the extension and renovation.
