During
our stay in Stuttgart, we had the opportunity to visit two big
sites of the automobile European which are Mercedes Benz and
Porshe. First, on the architectural plan, The Mercedes Benz museum
has a very vast and very well structured space. This one possesses
an immense stadium of football to his name " Mercedes Benz
Arena ".
And
more we traveled streets in the surroundings, more we had this
impression to be in the private district reserved for Mercredes.
What was interesting in the museum, according to us, it was this
impression of chronology found in the last floor. This competition
between Benz and Daimler was at the same time interesting and
impressionante.
For
example, in 1889, Daimler gives birth to the first engine in two
cylinders allowing to sprint. Inparallel, Benz conceive the 5hp in
two cylinders with pistons opposites. These
competition between both inventors will allow the
evolution of the automobile.
In
spite of the beautiful cars which proposed us the Porshe museum,
this site was interesting only on the artchitectural plan: a flying
saucer! A very ingenious idea, stressed by the choice of materials.
The aluminum evoking the skin of the snake, the reinforced concrete
for the idea of columns.
The
museum similar to a circuit of formula 1. The themes of speed and
movement was very well illustrated.
