Architecture and Construction
The architecture of the building echoes the principles of the Porsche architecture, which symbolizes the character of the company and faithfully reflects its authentic achievements and products at the same time. Its unique shape has been chosen deliberately to set the museum apart from the typical Porsche Centers and dealerships. The Vienna-based team of architects Delugan Meissl is responsible for the design of the new Porsche Museum at Zuffenhausen. With their bold style, the Austrians came out winners in a competition against 170 teams of architects.
Location
Together with Porsche AG's adjacent main plant and the company-owned sales outlet (Porsche Zentrum Stuttgart), the museum will double as the company's flagship and visual landmark for the public.
The Porsche Museum will be an ambassador of the Zuffenhausen location at the traditional Porsche production site for visitors and employees alike, and will lend a new positive publicity effect to an area otherwise largely characterized by functional industrial and commercial buildings.
