Automobile Museum by 3GATTI Architecture Studio 3Gatti Architecture Studio of Rome and Shanghai have won a competition to design an automobile museum in Nanjing, China. An external concentric ramp allows visitors to drive around the exterior of the museum in their own car, past the exhibits to a roof-top car park. Visitors then descend through the museum on foot via an internal ramp. Here are more details from 3Gatti: Automobile museum in Nanjing. It is difficult to identify one single and continuing exploratory theme in the work of Francesco Gatti. From the ethereal virtual ceiling of the redevelopment project “In Factory” – his first Chinese work – to the curved forms of the Ze Bar, from the sculptural faceting of the Red Object to the spotted epidermis of his transgenic houses, the architect with Roman origins has never let himself be bound by a specific or recognisable aesthetic style. The same applies in the winning project for the new car museum at Nanchino where Gatti has envisaged an origami on urban scale. Click for larger image.
