This exhibition and research project recalls this lost structure and calls for its contemporary reconstruction and historicization. Curated by David Gissen,(...)

AP181.S1.010
Description:
Original directory name: "10_Materialsammlung". File chiefly contains visual reference materials that were either created or gathered by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, or provided to them by BMW. They are a few presentations compiling the drawings from COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and images from the reference material gathered in various sub-directories. These were part of the design process for BMW Welt. Some directories present the result of themed research ("020213_karosserien", "020326_landscape", etc.), and may include photographs, drawings or textual documentation. BMW seems to have provided the firm with a library of corporate images of their car models. The "Bibliothek" directory also contains various stock images under the “for_restaurant” directory. File also includes some 3D model studies of the building’s shape; photographs of the location before construction; visual examples of other buildings, restaurants, conference rooms, and structures. Most common file formats: JPEG File Interchange Format, Exchangeable Image File Format (Compressed), Truevision TGA Bitmap, Tagged Image File Format, Adobe Illustrator
