Experimenta Heilbronn, Germany

2013

As a prelude to the Neckarbogen the new and existing buildings create a distinct ensemble, where landscape and the urban fabric merge.

The new building occupies an important juncture within the urban structure. The distinctive horizontal curves of this museum extension mediate between the landscape of the National Garden Exhibition and the historic city centre.

The museum extension is characterized by displaying its contents rather than through traditional means such as horizontal or vertical accents. The respective elements of the Experimenta are simply presented on a raised platform.

The new Experimenta is literally gushing with energy and ideas with young researchers breaking out and creating space for themselves.The roof serves as a field for innovation, provoking curiosity amongst the visitors.The marble-like forms of the Biosphere and the „Talent Incubators“ emerge on the roof, to be surrounded by colorful fields of planting. The future is clearly visible above the treetops, with the new addition to the city skyline drawing in new talent from afar.

The Experimenta as a showcase.

Experimenta Heilbronn, Germany

Experimenta Heilbronn, Germany

Visitors are greeted with a welcoming gesture. The building opens to all sides, embracing the outdoor space as an integral part of the distinctly exploratory architecture. The extension of the Experimenta floats above the forecourt, before the view of the visitor opens into a fantastic, multi-storey foyer. The cocoon-like forms of the TALENT INCUBATORS emerge as over-sized sculptures through the roof. Weaving between them is the orange space-time spiral, leading into the courtyard of the special exhibition, before diving underneath the forecourt and into the existing building.

Mercedes-Benz Campus

Mercedes-Benz Campus

The Mercedes-Benz Campus is intended as the crowning element of Stuttgart’s Neckarpark. “High Tech – High Nature”. What better symbolizes a worthwhile future? The lake in the centre of the campus serves as an energy engine; its role is to help in making aspects of renewable energy understandable. With the "Wave" and other public activities, the visitor himself is encouraged to be part of the spectacle. We have the responsibility for shaping our future ourselves! Both the Campus and the Future Center therefore do not focus on objects, but on people; their movement, their behaviour and their ambitions, people undertaking research, experimenting and sharing their experience in striving to develop a better future.
