christo guelov adds color to pedestrian crossings in madrid

using simple geometrical designs and blocks of saturated color, ‘funnycross’ is mixing up madrid’s urban complexion. located in the municipality of torrelodones, the public art installation — by bulgarian artist christo guelov — hijacks four pedestrian crossings outside the region’s three schools by interweaving the iconic white lines with colorful zig-zags, diamonds, circles, and more. the project aims to combine concepts of art, functionality, and urban planning.
