Since 1978, there have been three high columns of up to ten meters high in front of the entrance to the GGD (Municipal Health Service), made by artist Leen Droppert. One column is red, the other green and the third blue. Together they form a colorful vertical work of art against a horizontally bare and gray striped background. The statue is nicely situated against the entrance and stairs; an example of environmental design, as was often the case in the 1980s during the percentage scheme. The industrial-looking material and the popping, modern colors he used give the whole a somewhat lighter interpretation. Growth forms does not just blend into the streetscape; many Rotterdammers will recognize it.
