I so want to go to this museum. World Architecture News has the details.
The BMW Museum had to be integrated into the existing structural fabric of the company’s headquarters in Munich. The task was to interpret the historic 'Museum Bowl' anew and lead its design into the 21st century. The original qualities of the previous museum had to be maintained, making it suitable for temporary exhibitions and uniting it with a new permanent exhibition area.
The concept follows the key terms 'extension' and 'dynamisation'. The west wing of the headquarters was gutted and developed into an exhibition area; the 'Museum Bowl' was architecturally connected to it and staged as an epilogue with the 'Visual Symphony', a 360-degree display. The basic theme of the Bowl, 'continuation of the street in enclosed space' (Karl Schwanzer), is conceived as a principle of a dynamic architecture and finds its continuation in an urban spatial experience. A ramp system symbolises mobility. It takes on a key function as a formed and forming element.
