DESCRIPTION
For me as an admirer of façades, Omnizorg in Apeldoorn (NL) is a very nice complex. The building's destination is a shelter for the homeless, drug addicts and people with psychiatric disorders. In addition to this noble function, the façade also expresses a bright and uplifting playfulness through the colourful window shutters in many different positions in combination with the reflective / glazed surface of the bricks.

Paul Brouns (1967) is a Dutch visual artist known for his vibrant, geometric compositions that explore the relationship between color, rhythm, and architecture. His work often features abstract patterns, inspired by urban environments and the facades of modern buildings. Brouns uses photography and digital techniques to create his distinctive, pixelated style, transforming everyday architectural elements into rhythmic, almost musical, visual experiences. Based in the Netherlands, Paul Brouns’ work has been exhibited internationally, and he has gained recognition for his ability to blend the worlds of design, photography, and fine art.His work has been featured in numerous prominent exhibitions around the world, including shows in Tokyo, Seoul, New Delhi, New York, London, and Amsterdam.
