Decoration at Hallands 
county Hospital in Halmstad.

Made for the new comunication center 2002

The communication center is the most recently builtaddition to the hospital. It was created for people who are visually or hearing impaired.
The basic idea of the decoration is to enable visually impaired people to feel the form with their hands.
The decoration is featured throughout three different floors.
Each floor has it´s own form, `The Facade´, `The Ark´and `The Stairs´.
The forms are simple and easy to see and feel.
Some are carved and painted, others are just painted.
There are also sculptures made of concrete.
