Design Evolution

Mercedes-Benz Museum

Since its foundation in 1903 the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA), an association of free-lance architects, has been lobbying for a qualitative perfecting of our built environment. It encourages the quality of planning and building with responsibility towards society and environment as well as innovations through teaching and research. On its way towards a building culture supported by the public the BDA disseminates information about the use and value of architectonic quality. Those goals have been realized by the exhibition of UNStudio – van Berkel & Bos in the best way possible. The working methodology of UNStudio is demonstrated by help of the spatially and technically extremely demanding project Mercedes-Benz Museum for DaimlerChrysler in Stuttgart. It documents the service capability of architects and architecture. (Dieter Ben Kauffmann) http://shop.arcguide.de
