This façade has been under discussion – can this be a hospital?

The artwork called Väre is situated on the façade of K-hospital in Lappeenranta. The colourful artwork has been plastered like the buildings surrounding it. The dimensions of the tall building are faded out with vertical stripes that are different in width. The vertical window lines complete the façade creating a uniform artwork. There are all together 36 different shades on the plastered surface, blended from 7 original colours.

Väre is one of the several Eksote Art Plan artworks. Art defines a considerable part of the hospital’s general appearance and spatial solutions. The artworks were integrated as a natural part of the architecture and the interior design. As an aid in this was used the Art Formula developed by Partanen & Lamusuo Ltd. which facilitates the implementation of art in a hospital milieu.
