The installation is divided into five distinct sections, utilizing a primary color palette of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"221\"\u003esignal yellow, carmin red, and ultramarine blue\u003c\/b\u003e to contrast with the raw concrete and sandstone architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe yellow triangular shapes in the initial sections create a dynamic perspective, pulling the pedestrian into the tunnel. In the central areas, red blocks mark significant corner junctions, while the staircase sections utilize bold blue triangles to support vertical movement. The ceiling mural features rhythmic stripes that break up the tunnel's length, organizing the space into a cohesive, walkable composition. By applying these geometric \"signposts,\" Göttin transforms the architecture into an immersive, three-dimensional painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eContext \u0026amp; Significance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eAs part of the IBA Basel’s urban development strategy, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"78\"\u003eWegweiser\u003c\/i\u003e explores the potential of transit hubs to become high-quality public spaces rather than mere \"non-places.\" Göttin masterfully demonstrates how constructive art can serve a psychological function: reducing the sense of enclosure in underground passages and replacing it with clarity and visual engagement. It is a prime example of how minimal, non-objective art can humanize urban infrastructure and foster a sense of security through aesthetic order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eKey Technical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eScope:\u003c\/b\u003e Full underpass intervention (5 sections), including walls, ceilings, and staircases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/b\u003e Site-specific wall and ceiling painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e High-durability industrial acrylic paint on concrete and plaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Pedestrian underpass, Town Hall\/Main Station, Lörrach, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProgram:\u003c\/b\u003e IBA Basel 2020 – \"Active Stations.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBring Art to Your Space\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThis project illustrates our artists' ability to engage with monumental urban scales—from functional navigational systems to immersive color experiences.
