Facade Factory Thomas am Kulm (TaK), Speichersdorf

Artist:          Marcello Morandini
Completion: Junei 1985

Morandini gave the factory a special gift for its 25th anniversary: He redesigned the 220m long façade with an impressive and oversized color composition. Through his elaborate use of refined, merging and then again contrasting lines and exciting coloration he achieves an amazing three-dimensional effect on 1500m2 of even factory wall. Morandini says: "I wanted to adopt the shape of the roof on the basis of a grid with the colors black, white, blue and green and have that shape reflected to create a totally new architectural structure".
