Le Corbusier developed a logically structured system for colour design in 1931. This ‘purist palette’ consists of 43 shades across 14 series (each named in a unique numbering system). He chose the specific colours based on their interactions with light, and their affects on both architectural spaces and their inhabitants.
The museum's branding and wayfinding are based off of Le Corbusier's strict, rigorous grid system and emphasis on proportions and harmony. The signage for various programs and facilities are structured around a grid derived from the Fibonacci Sequence, and mimic the meticulous 90 and 45 degree angles of his designs. Circles were introduced as on homage to Le Corbusier's iconic glasses frames, and to allow for more flexibility in icon design.
