The Global Fund and Gavi appointed Four-by-Two with the task of manifesting this collaborative space that aims to bring the efficiency and alliance of a creative working environment to a unique habitat. Housing not only the Global Fund and Gavi but also multiple organisations and over a thousand employees, it aims to increase happiness and yield innovation with a united front in a bonded location. It was immediately obvious that people are the heart of all organisations involved, whether staff, brand ambassadors or those the work is aiming to help there was a true sense of equality among everyone that we came across in abundance. It was this that informed our creative route.

Focusing on the notion of human touch we looked at the traditional art of body painting which inspired the word marque and signifier for the Campus. Again, replicating the concept of an organic, living entity, the design takes on this persona with the seven strands symbolising the seven floors of the building. Using pictorials as the common language throughout the building further enforced that we are all the same. By speaking to everyone in this language that we all understand, it unites us in deeper, meaningful ways.

With adaptability forming a root concept in this project we are excited by the implementation of phase one with the potential for continued growth, transformative augmentation and humble additions in ongoing phases that will always compliment the conscientious and dedicated work completed by those at the Global Fund, Gavi and the other organisations based at the Global Health Campus.
