More than the document of a remarkable project: Buy Me A Mercedes-Benz
shows how various forms of expert knowledge have been combined and
interwoven to finally generate an unconventional, breakthrough museum
design. Providing insight into the various ideas, experiences and
ambitions behind the project, this book allows visitors to take the
museum home. Through photographs, diagrams, text, and drawings, this
book explains the unique Mercedes museum design model, developed by UN
Studio: the digitally programmed, three-dimensional, cross-connected
trefoil. Implementing this model has resulted in a building that
radically breaks with many of today's architectural conventions, a
building that is highly complex, but still maintains a strongly
directional structure, which provides many surprising perceptual
experiences.
