This is a great architectural design from UNStudio for DaimlerChrysler Immobilien, Berlin. The Mercedes Benz Museum designed with sophisticated geometry synthesizes structural and programmatic organizations resulting in a new landmark building celebrating a legendary car. The geometric model employed is based on the trefoil organization. The building’s program is distributed over the surfaces which ascend incrementally from ground level, spiraling around a central atrium.

The Museum experience begins with visitors traveling up through the atrium to the top floor from where they follow the two main paths that unfold chronologically as they descend through the building. The two main trajectories, one being the car and truck collection and the other consisting of historical displays called the Legend rooms, spiral downwards on the perimeter of the display platforms, intersecting with each other at several points allowing the visitor to change routes.

As one of the masterpiece work of United Network (UN), with an integrated design process and state-of-the-art communication technologies, the architecture and interior of the Mercedes-Benz Museum is far beyond one expects.

From the exterior into the interior of the Museum, visitors are immediately transported into the whole new world of high-end technology. From the central lifts in the entrance hall to the top level of the 47.5 meter high building.

All the walls and ceilings on the museum are either concave or flow from one to the other in its undulating forms which create the no right angles on the entire museum interior.

The incredible museum interior set out a voyage of discovery along with the long history of the automobile from its beginnings to the present day.
