"The Mercedes-Benz Museum binds together several radical spatial principles, and generates a wholly new typology as a result. It does this partly in response to its museum function, partly in response to its peripheral situation, and partly in response to questions and concerns that belong to the discipline of architecture itself." "The Mercedes-Benz Museum makes everyone forget that they are in a museum. None of the problems that make the traditional museum less and less sustainable occur. The works around you belong to no other culture than your own. They are much closer to you and speak more clearly to you than most of today’s art. Subliminally, we already know this: now, when you enter the MoMA in New York, the first important object you encounter is not art, but a helicopter that floats above your head. The helicopter speaks to us about the achievements and the problems of our society, as do the cars and their history in the Mercedes-Benz Museum." Ben van Berkel The competition for the Music Faculty of the University of Graz (MUMUTH, 1998-2008) was held in 1998. After winning the second phase, the project was developed further over the next two years, before being put on hold in 2000. Design revisions were implemented before the project was put on hold for the second time. The design model for the competition entry became the one of the most significant and widely applied models for our work, conveying the simultaneous and interconnected present of two contrasting typologies, blob and box, within one structure. The design model consists of a horizontally directed spiral whose ends are interwoven with its middle part to generate the internal organisation. The spiral transforms itself from blob to box and vice versa in an endless composition – it is simple, orthogonal and horizontally orientated on one side and turns into a complex, smaller-scaled principle on the opposite side. Like an octopus, the spiral divides itself into a number of interconnected smaller spirals that take on a vertical and diagonal direction. Because of this organising principle, which is also constructive, a free, fluent, column-free internal spatial arrangement is actualised, efficiently connecting spaces to each other. The archetypal figure of the spiral has associated characteristics that are closely related to music as: rhythm, continuity, channelling, directionality, intersections.
