For more than ten years, the celebrated artist Per Arnoldi of Copenhagen has been working together with the world famous London architect Norman Foster. Arnoldi’s contributions range from posters of Foster’s buildings to targeted chromatic interventions in interior spaces to the complex total "chromatic concept” for a massive new structure. His color choices serve to create atmosphere and also guide the user clearly through the space. This book provides systematic and detailed documentation of this entire collaborative spectrum. Projects include: the Commerzbank in Frankfurt, the Reichstag in Berlin, the Imperial College in London, HM Treasury in London, the National Police Monument in London, the Arag Tower in Düsseldorf, the World Port Center in Rotterdam, and Decaux’s headquarters in London. The photographs were taken specially for this book to capture the specific qualities of the interplay between space and color. Seit über zehn Jahren arbeitet der renommierte Kopenhagener Künstler Per Arnoldi mit dem weltberühmten Londoner Architekten Norman Foster zusammen. Vom Plakat, das ein Foster-Gebäude vorstellt, über gezielte Farbinterventionen im Innenraum bis zum komplexen Gesamtkonzept für die farbliche Ausgestaltung großer Neubauten reichen Arnoldis Beiträge. Seine Farbgebungen dienen zugleich der atmosphärischen Verdichtung wie der klaren Benutzer-Wegleitung im Raum. Dokumentiert wird dieses gesamte Spektrum der Zusammenarbeit auf systematische und ausführliche Weise. Dargestellte Projekte sind: Commerzbank in Frankfurt, Reichstag in Berlin, Imperial College in London, HM Treasury in London, National Police Monument in London, Arag in Düsseldorf, World Port Center in Rotterdam, Decaux Headquarters in London. Die Fotos wurden eigens für dieses Buch aufgenommen, um die spezifischen Qualitäten der Wechselwirkung von Raum und Farbe einzufangen.
