I thought this was a neat way to share the idea of diversity and multi-nationalism in an environment beyond just a sign that says it. These ornaments are also highly functional which is great that they have a very tangible purpose beyond the facade, they're noise baffles in a high school atrium. Anyway if you view this at a steep angle, you can connect the pieces of the continental map. and then on the other side is a variety of written languages. Great use of perspective, very unifying, yet abstract enough to get people to move to figure out what it means.
