When Pantone met Architecture!

Who wouldn’t want to attend a university as deliciously Wes Andersonian as this? Designed by french architecture group Périphériques and photographed by Ludwig Favre, the atrium of the Jussieu University of Paris is literally a splash of colors. With each floor being color coded with pastel shades, the colors end up serving as guidelines, becoming not just interior decoration, but also a solid way-finding system to guide students as well as outsiders. Not to mention with a school building looking this uniquely attractive, its beauty would probably help boost the attendance of students!

For a university of science and medicine, this place sure looks the opposite of intimidating!
