Enabling islands of inspiration
The various large-scale interventions, including in the Student Project House, connect the different rooms through their color and shape compositions and further enliven the creative space for students and the D-MAVT premises. ‘The various works of art – from the carpets to window paintings and murals – form a course with their different islands of color in the building, which should offer space for relaxation and inspiration,’ Sch?dler explains the artist's idea. Rochat intends for the islands of color to create moments in the students' everyday lives where they can find time to dream and give free rein to their creativity. In this way, the winner combines art and everyday life.
People walking past the building on Tannenstrasse can also enjoy part of the work of art from the outside. ‘Through the Magic Glasses’ can be seen on the front entrance. Here, 28 windows become a fresco with punctual plays of light depending on how the daylight falls from outside. The incidence of light casts colored reflections onto the floor inside the building.
