Porsche Museum Building
The new Porsche Museum will express the company’s self-confident stance and high standards in architectural terms, while at the same time conveying the firm’s dynamism and vitality.

Mercedes Museum Stuttgart
“The Mercedes-Benz Museum makes everyone forget that they are in a museum. None of the problems that make the traditional museum less and less sustainable occur. The works around you belong to no other culture than your own. They are much closer to you and speak more clearly to you than most of today’s art.”
