Un conjunto arquitectónico singular, el Museo Mercedes-Benz en Stuttgart, Alemania. Y el medio siglo de AMG una buena excusa para visitarlo, hasta abril de este año.

Dos de mis pasiones, reunidas en un mismo espacio: arquitectura y motor; una de las expresiones más puras de la forma que sigue a la función (form follows function)

At once the world’s most cutting-edge museum and a repository of the most deep-rooted traditions, the Mercedes-Benz Museum combines an elegant appearance with a unique structure based on a double helix. All aspects of this architecture are in flow, with no closed rooms or straight walls. Ceilings span 33 metres without any supports whatsoever and each of the 1800 triangular window panes is unique.

Three architecture firms have been instrumental in defining the character of the museum: Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos’s UNStudio created the building’s exciting design. HG Merz evolved the concept in close cooperation with the then DaimlerChrysler AG, from the initial invitation for tenders to detailed planning of the museum’s presentation. The former company DaimlerChrysler Immobilien GmbH assumed overall responsibility for the museum’s construction as the general contractor.
