Morphing building facade changes color as you move around

Large-scale artworks are certainly in vogue at the moment. Recently we’ve seen giant puppets walking the streets of Liverpool and a giant solar-harvesting duck in Copenhagen. For his part, designer Rob Ley has created a huge car-park façade that changes color as the viewer moves around it…

Urbana was commissioned to design and implement the installation in August 2012 and it was completed in May of this year. It features 7,000 metal panels at different angles with a different color on each side. As viewers move from one end of the installation to the other, it begins to change color non-uniformly from “golden yellow” to “deep blue” (or vice versa) until the whole façade appears changed.
