Coop Himmelb(l)au
BMW Welt, München

This new building completes the spectacular trio of architectural image cultivations of German car manufacturers, the Mercedes Benz and the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.

A series of excellent interior and exteriors photographs provides a record of this demonstration project by BMW. The urban-sculptural and internal spatial qualities of the new BMW Welt are also analyzed thoroughly, and dealt with in detail in the contexts of Coop Himmelb(l)au’s older and new work.
