4 BMW Welt Am Olympiapark Munich ure has been very popular with car makers in recent years; one after the other they have embarked on high-visibility branding exercises Mercedes Benz engaged UN Studio to design a Mercedes museum in Stuttgart, and in the same city Porsche is building a museum designed by Delugan Meissl Meanwhile, in Paris, Citroen has just taken delivery of a new showroom on the Champs Elysées With 'car architecture', as with the cars themselves, each new project looks bigger, more streamlined and faster than the one before Coop Himmelb(l)au designed a spectacular steel and glass tornado for BMW World, 'a centre for brand experience and vehicle delivery' The new building complements the striking four-cylinder head office (Karl Schwanzer, 1973) and the adjacent, shell-shaped BMW museum Set on a corner plot, the double-conical structure with event room fans out into a sculptural roof beneath which the customer lounges are suspended in the main hall 2007 Coop Himmelb(l)au BMW pkrajewski_pl 4

5 photo: Andreas J Focke photo: Andreas J Focke Public Passage Alter Hof Alter Hof Munich Passages are often regarded as no more than a link between A and B and that is usually what they look like, too: anonymous and non-designed Small wonder that such urban spaces quickly deteriorate into places you would rather avoid Pfarré Lighting Design created the reverse - a passage so inviting that you would willingly go out of your way to walk through it This passage takes the form of a flight of steps that runs through the former imperial residence of Munich, the Alter Hof Thanks to the bronze sheets cladding walls and ceiling, the space has a distinctive, warm character The variously sized sheets are arranged in vertical bands with every so often a gap for recessed white fibre optics which present as subtle light slits The main lighting is integrated with the underside of the specially designed handrail in the middle of the stair With the aid of reflectors, the light shines down onto the granite treads from where it is bounced upwards to reflect off the bronze sheeting 2006 Main designer, Artist Auer+Weber Pfarré Lighting Design City of Munich Kirsten_Hannema photo: Stefan Mueller-Naumann The passage connects the Alter Hof with the Sparkassenstrasse 5

6 photo: Sascha Kletzsch photo: Sascha Kletzsch Micro Compact Homes Grasmeierstrasse Munich Small, easily transportable spaces for low-red-tape deployment have been realized by a generation of new architects They are unconventional cellular spaces designed to be mounted on or docked with existing houses, as suspended or standalone units They form a category distinct from campervans and caravans, which remain within the domain of automotive design The Micro Compact Home, however, does a wonderful job of straddling the dividing lines between the disciplines of town planning, architecture and car design The cuboid home with an overall length of 266 metres in not intended for modern nomads but primarily for use on temporarily available sites for the likes of students The cubes consist of a wood sandwich construction with an aluminium outer skin and an inner cladding of ployurethane foam and PVC They are gently staggered along a slightly raised pathway offering a degree of collective cohesion to counterbalance their individuality photo: Sascha Kletzsch Project is not public! 2005 Main designer, Structural engineer Associate architect Lydia Haack John Hoepfner Brengelmann Engineers Richard Horden Studentenwerk München Ursula_Baus U-Bahn station 'Studentenstadt' is nearby From the station, walk down Grasmeierstrasse The Micro Compact Homes will be located on the left 6

8 Olympic Stadium Munich Spiridon-Louis-Ring Munich Situated at the heart of the Olympiapark München in northern Munich, the Olympiastadion was the main venue for the 1972 Summer Olympics With a capacity of 80,000, the stadium also hosted events including football's 1974 World Cup Final and 1988 European Championship Final The Olympic Park in Munich is impressive with its outstanding architecture and it is still in keeping with the times In contrast to many other Olympic sites it still continues to be filled with life everyday Every year five million people come to the Olympic Park and buy a ticket - either to do sport themselves, to use tourist attractions or to watch the numerous top events and entertainments And this figure does not even include the many thousands of people walking or jogging in the park 1972 Main designer, Behnisch Architekten Frei Otto pkrajewski_pl Daily until 14 October: 830am - 830pm from 15 October: 900am - 430pm Entrance price 2 euro Public transport: U-Bahn line U3 to Olympiazentrum, about 10 min Then walk towards the stadium Tram line 20 and 21, stop at Olympiapark West Tram line 27 stop at Petuelring Tram line 12 stop at Infanteriestraße (Tollwoodgelände) Bus 173 stop at Olympiazentrum and Olympia-Eissportstadion Bus 52 stop at Infanteriestraße (Tollwoodgelände) 8

10 photo: Evan Chakroff photo: Evan Chakroff Sammlung Goetz Oberföhringer Straße Munich The Gallery for a Private Collection of Modern Art, Goetz Collection in Munich, of 1992 is a free-standing volume that can be used as both a public and a private gallery The architectural conception for the building is derived from the collection of works that have been assembled, namely, art from the 1960s to the present Situated in a park like area of birches and conifers, the gallery appears as a simple flush-detailed form, yet upon closer inspection reveals itself as a complex study in composition (text from website wwwmomaorg) photo: Evan Chakroff 1992 Herzog and De Meuron evanc Goetz Collection Oberföhringer Straße 103 D Munich Tel Fax info@sammlung-goetzde Visitation is possible from during opening hours BY APPOINTMENT ONLY: Monday to Friday 2-6 pm Saturday 11 am - 4 pm Closed on sundays and bank holidays Take the Subway U4 to "Richard-Strauss-Straße" Change here for bus # 188 (direction Unterföhring, Fichtenstraße) to bus stop "Bürgerpark Oberföhring" Take the streetcar # 17 or # 18, or bus # 54 to "Herkomerplatz" Change here for bus # 188 (direction Unterföhring, Fichtenstraße) to bus stop "Bürgerpark Oberföhring" Individual timetable information:

11 Mercedes-Benz Centre Arnulfstrasse Munich The transparent building offers optimal show possibilities on one of the busiest traffic bridges in Europe The completely glass structure looks like an over-sized display window and together withe the 65 meter tall, elliptical glass tower, it marks the western entrance to the city centre (from munich-archand desing; teneues) From me: Nice showroom and museum, not so good like "Mercedes Centre in Berlin" or "Bmw Welt" but anyway, you can make photos, and sit in almost every new car The elevation make the best attraction in the night 2002 LAI Architekten Mercedes-Benz pkrajewski_pl The Showroom is open on Monday - Friday: Saturday: Sunday: hr Tel or infomuenchen@mercedes-benzde 11

13 Herz Jezu Kirche Lachnerstrasse Munich The glass cube is not immediately recognizable as a church The church was designed as a room within a room A glass cave with a gigantic gate houses a wooden shrine, which is the real church Filtered light produces a sacred atmosphere in the interior (from Munich ure and DesignteNeues) Floor area/size m², Interior architect Allmann Sattler Wappner pkrajewski_pl Erzbischöfliches Ordinariat München Every day Tuesdays
