Volkswagen Glass

Location: Dresden, Germany

Architect: Henn Architecure

Date: 2004

Project Type: Corporate Buildings

Neatly nestled inside Volkswagen's Glass Factory, the manufacturing home of the company's very upscale Phaeton, is an 80-foot wide "media sphere." By cladding the sphere in Kiwi, GKD's most flexible and delicate woven metal fabric, the architect was able to realize its spherical form.
