Title:

Presentations, BMW Welt, Munich

Date:

1995-2007

Description:

Original directory name: "11_Publikation". File consists chiefly of presentations (Powerpoint, PDF and InDesign files), organized by date and topic such as the double cone, the interior design, the restaurants, the lighting, etc. Often, drawings or images used in the presentations are kept within the same directory. In some instances Adobe InDesign files might have dependencies on those drawings and images, so duplicates were not removed. Presentations seemed to have served various purposes such as showing design proposals or the construction’s progress. Some system files, true type font and photographs predate the BMW Welt project.

File notably contains the film commissioned by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU to Imaginary Forces in order to show BMW the magnitude of the project of BMW Welt. A six meter long model was created for this purpose. The film was shown to the client on a 8 x 10 meter screen. Film is in directory "o_Präsentation\050407_INNENAUSBAU" and there are also preliminary and alternate versions in other directories in this file.
