Title:

Material selection and design, BMW Welt, Munich

Date:

2000-2006

Description:

Original directory name: "23_Bemusterung". File contains documentation, lists, plans and photographs that appear to have been gathered to inform design choices for the BMW Welt building. It includes maps, floors, suspended ceilings, restaurants, walls, perforated sheets, door handles, exposed concrete surfaces, show halls, etc.

Photographs show lighting devices, floorings, building claddings, among other elements. Plans present either very specific areas of the BMW Welt building, with technical details, or offer a complete view of a floor or an area of the building, which are also very detailed. The few textual records in the file reflect planning for material selection, for example, presentations on potential lighting devices.
