The impressive, imposing and modern structure of Porsche Pavilion at Autostadt in Wolfsburg, without doubt deserves the honor for the prestigious Automotive Brand Award 2012 design prize in the Best of Best Architecture category. These awards were recently announced and it is this Porsche Pavilion that was chosen to receive the award from the German Design Council.
This structure itself is the handwork of Henn Architekten, HG Merz Architekten and WES & Partner who were in charge of the landscaping around the pavilion. Recently completed and inaugurated on the 12th of June 2012, this single shell structure is all stainless steel.
The design of the building is a creation for roofline of Porches like 356 and 911. It is a sweeping arch made of concrete and stainless steel while insides of walls are curved to create one continuous fluid motion with no sharp edges. This particular Porsche Pavilion was selected from a total of 350 entries in this category. Porsche will receive its prize at the Paris Motor Show to be held at the end of September.
