Mercedes-Benz Museum – the building

A structure becomes a time machine
The structure of the Mercedes-Benz Museum is comparable with a trefoil shape. In geometrical terms, it comprises three overlapping circles, the centre points of which are cut out to form a three-pointed atrium. Semi-circular surfaces the height of one or two floors are projected from this core. In using such an expressive design model, the UNStudio architects have succeeded in organising their ideas regarding infrastructure, exhibition rooms, schedules and overall structure.

Visitors commence their tour from the top floor of the museum exhibition, moving downwards along a chronological route by following the perimeter of the building. It's a bit like being in a time machine. Visitors follow a line that becomes a wall, then a ceiling and then a room. The distinction between line, surface and room become distorted.

The two museum rooms are diametrically opposed in their personalities. The Legend rooms are protected and have artificial lighting in the style of theatre auditoriums. On entering these rooms, you have the impression of being on a stage. The architecture is open-plan and the exhibits are surrounded by giant panoramic windows, providing a source of daylight. Visitors use their intuition and individual preferences in selecting their route through the Mercedes-Benz Museum. In doing so, they never lose their overview and, thanks to an ingenious guidance system, can find their bearings at any time.
