Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, 2006 UNStudio, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Next to the Daimler factory, UNStudio designed a 32,000 m2 (350,000 sq ft) museum, which also includes stores, offices, a restaurant and an auditorium. The inner helical ramps spiral up and around a central void, a design inspired by a trefoil knot.
