Mercedes-Benz at IAA 2013 in Frankfurt, Germany
This image shows the light effects and the rush at exhibiton hall of Mercedes-Benz at IAA 2013 in Frankfurt and this featured image also shows only two colors. ;-) -- Wolf im Wald (de) 19:54, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And what can you tell us about that architecture based on this photo alone? Daniel Case (talk) 04:46, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can see the rough layout of this area of the hall, I see how light and colour is used for a dramatic presentation of the cars, I see how the visitors have access to an area all around the presentation area, going up via the escalator on the right and then back down using slopes (which is very similar to the Mercedes-Benz museum in a way). I also see that the roof is built in the shape of a dome but not lit at all to give the impressin of a very high room, making it almost but not completely invisible. On the right, an LED screen is used to imitate the look of a draped red curtain (thanks to sufficient resolution to see individual pixels). All parts of the building itself are clearly deconstructivist in their architecture. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 07:50, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, what I see is an abstraction of discordant shapes in red and black into which the Daimler-Benz logo has somehow wandered. It is artistic, perhaps, but not an effective picture for an encyclopedic article. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
