Porsche Museum, Stuttgart 
House Holman, Durbach Block Architects
The Porsche Museum is far from the generic sheds that once housed cars. It is a result of a competition won by Vienna's Delugan Meissl. Dulugan Meissl is known for their angular, fluid extensions and dramatic forms came up with the idea of the white box raised up on three concrete pillars. The structure is clad in gleaming aluminium panels, with the underside of the box in reflective stainless steel. The main 5,600 square metre exhibition space is formed from an elaborate latticework of immense volumes of steel. The podium section weighs a total of 6,000 tons and contains 30,000 steel beams, costing 100million euro.
House Holman, Durbach Block Architects
This structure sits on the edge of a 70m cliff, the plan of the Holman House refers to Picassos painting "The Bather". It contains a complex series of fluid living spaces set within a perimeter that arcs, folds and stretches in response to the sun, landscape and views. The living and dining areas are cantilevered out over the oceab, allowing dramatic views up and down the coast. The lower floor forms a base that is built from rough stone walls like an extension of the cliff below. These walls continuealong the cliff edge to form a series of terraced gardens and vase shaped rock pool.
