Dynamic Forces: COOP Himmelb(l)au, BMW WELT Munich

Stunning and innovative architecture is the hallmark of the firm Coop Himmelb(l)au; their exciting new project, the BMW complex in Munich known as BMW Welt, exhibits the same characteristics. Combining the latest technical and environmentally conscious elements, the new building will serve as a conference centre, cultural venue and delivery outpost for custom-made cars. It will also feature restaurants, lounges and opportunities for visitors to gain access to the inner workings of the BMW factory. This handsomely illustrated volume details the conception and construction of BMW Welt and includes photographs, architectural plans, and sketches along with an interview by Coop Himmelb(l)au's principal architect Wolf D. Prix.
