hey dj thought i should add this. a friend of mine on flickr took these photos. his name is Jonathan Aydt and this is his flickr page... Flickr: jone05's Photostream

anyways here are a few nice photos hes taken of the museum.





he has others on his site

 

Proof positive that architectural design peaked in the 1800's and it's been downhill ever since....

 

Uhmm...no.

 

i hope that was a sick joke.


then again each person has their own opinion.

 

Why the heck are the car manufacturers designing their museums like this?

Doesn't look good at all, and no doubt there will be some bullshit rationale behind the design that the architect used to justify his existence.

 

the big three premium german brands are trying to outdo each other. At the end of the day its all about the cars that are in them, wouldn't care if it looked like a barn.

Although the BMW one is amazing, flame surfacing in a building...brilliant.

 

+1 I'd love to see it
I agree with your first point..... however flame surfacing and the Bangle era amount to the dark ages in BMW's history IMO

 

Eh, don't hold your breath. They've kept post-poning the opening date for the past two years . . .



. . . I guess I'm just bitter it wasn't opened this summer.
