Analogous to building vehicles: redesigning corporate identity

Audi AG Forum, Neckarsulm

The Audi AG Forum forms a new corporate symbol in the southern part of the company's Neckarsulm plant. The free-form geometry of the building envelope intentionally makes references to vehicle construction. Inspired by the principle of the aluminium frame construction of the cars – space frames – the architects for the structure of the building likewise developed such a holistic steel supporting structure.

This project was discussed in the network series “wieweiterarbeiten – Workspaces of the Future“.
