Everything is Curved: The Mercedes‐Benz Museum, Stuttgart, Germany

van Berkel, Ben / Bos, Caroline

10.1002/ad.396.abs

In the Mercedez‐Benz Museum, Stuttgart, organisational and spatial strategies combine to yield an elegant form. Its presence, formal balance and refinement of features, along with its continuity of surface, create a building that is spatially and formally opulent. The structure rises above its context, while achieving harmony through its spatial configuration, which defies gravity ‐ cars and people are able to drive and walk up the building. Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos of UNStudio describe here how they set out to achieve this by dedicating the spatiotemporal experience of the museum to motion and reiteration.
