Artistic Wayfinding: Colour Themes and Art for Lift Lobbies

Art and colour themes help patients and visitors observe their way. The color blueish was called for the Bloomberg Children's Center and the colour green for the Sheikh Zayed Tower. The moment y'all step off an elevator, the palette of colors will tell you where you are.

Each lift entrance hall likewise features original artwork. In the Bloomberg Children'southward Center, art inspired by children's books delights our youngest patients and provides their families with memorable 'landmarks.' In the Zayed Belfry, art inspired by nature and the garden is located outside each lift bank and displayed throughout waiting rooms, corridors, and staff work stations, bringing an element of peace to the busy hospital setting.

Fun with the Alphabet

Baltimore artist Lauren P. Adams worked with children staying at The Johns Hopkins Hospital to create an artful upper-case alphabet to be displayed in the Bloomberg Children's Centre. Adams taught the children a technique calledpapel picado, for creating newspaper cut-outs, which were transformed into colorful silkscreens by Baltimore Print Studios. Additional alphabet-themed artworks include Scott Teplin'sAlphabet for Alphaville, a playful set of letters featuring intricate and fanciful scenes, and Jeffrey Mitchell'sABCDEFGHI<3U.

The alphabet theme continues outside the Bloomberg Children's Center, where the 26 colors that artist Spencer Finch used on the hospital's giant curtain wall are displayed in alphabetical order past color name.
