The artistic design for the school entrances at Lammhult´s new elementary school consists of intricate patterns, colours, and shapes digitally printed on laminated glass. Each one of the five entrance represents a different climate zone and a building block in the natural process of photosynthesis. The art project aims to emphasize the connection to the forest and the impact of natural processes on everyone, regardless of their location. The artwork is accompanied by an artist’s book that serves as an educational tool for students and staff, providing an introduction to the art.
