Summary:

What's made of glass and steel and shaped like a car wheel? It's the Museum Mobile in the Audi Forum, the automobile company's exciting new addition to their German factory.

Originally a ducal residence, this invitingly transparent structure on the banks of the Danube River was built as a series of concentric rings that move, independently of each other. Designed to imitate the annual rings of a tree trunk, the interior structure allows visitors to observe the many layers of activity inside. This richly illustrated monograph otters striking interior and exterior shots of the complex, accompanied by a history of the building and the philosophy behind its unique form. A state-of-the-art showroom in more ways than one, the Audi Forum is an innovative blend of industry, science, and architecture, captured in 'an exquisitely produced volume as attractive as it is instructional.
