Project's Summary

Porsche Museum: Translating Brand into Architecture

The Porsche Museum is a testament to the power of architecture in conveying the essence of a brand. Delugan Meissl Associated Architects designed the museum with the goal of translating the versatile and vivid Porsche brand into the language of architecture. The result is a sleek and dynamic structure that embodies the driving and speed that the Porsche brand is known for.

Spatial Sensuality: An Immersive Experience

The museum's design is focused on creating a sensory experience for visitors, allowing them to feel the energy and passion of the Porsche brand. The building's configuration and spatial medium are carefully crafted to convey the sensation of driving and speed, as well as the statics and logjams that come with it. The museum is an open space that incorporates all of the brand's specific qualities, making it a truly immersive experience for visitors.

Designing for Experience: Opportunity and Interaction

The primary design parameters for the museum were experience and the opportunity to experience. The architects allocated space accordingly, ensuring that visitors could fully engage with the exhibits and the space around them. The museum's design also emphasizes the interaction between the building and its environment, creating a functional and practical space that is in harmony with its surroundings. The result is a dynamic and interactive structure that is a true reflection of the Porsche brand.

Sculptural Form: A Duality of Experience

The Porsche Museum is a dynamically formed, monolithic structure that stands out against the surrounding landscape. Its reflective soffit absorbs the architectural landscape below, creating a visual connection between the base and exhibition area. This architectural gesture underlines the duality of experience and opportunity to experience on which the structural design is based. The museum's seemingly dichotomous shape is a response to the exceptional position of its exhibits, creating a sculptural form that is both functional and visually striking.

In conclusion, the Porsche Museum is a testament to the power of architecture in conveying the essence of a brand. Delugan Meissl Associated Architects successfully translated the versatile and vivid Porsche brand into the language of architecture, creating a dynamic and interactive structure that embodies the driving and speed that the brand is known for. With its focus on experience and interaction, the Porsche Museum is a truly immersive space that engages all of the senses.
