in the ever growing hanseatic city of hamburg, germany, a cultural center based for showcasing automobiles is planned to be built by hadi teherani architects. ‘meilenwerk‘ is designed to be a forum for driving culture and is placed in a former power station. the historically preserved building (grade II listing) is a sensible site to house numerous cars in its momentous brick-clad form. hadi teherani architects will add a glass cube to protect and display vintage and luxury cars. the tempered glass spans eight floors and is supported by ‘V-shaped’ beams. behind the massive hall, an additional glass roof will create a pavilion for presentations and other activities. the ‘meilenwerk’ project will be completed in 2015.
