The Mercedes center designed by Mustafa Al-Nuaimi looks like something straight out of Zaha Hadid's sketchbook, and that's meant as a compliment. Clean, futuristic and a work of art, the Mercedes center embodies the luxurious designs of the vehicles that the company produces without being too obvious in its influence and inspiration.
Forming a large circular structure complete with fluid lines, the Mercedes center boasts the brand's signature silver through to use of a parametric metal skin. Although just a concept for now, the Mercedes center makes a spiraling impact that will win many people over. Perhaps it will even inspire Mercedes to fund it. Dubbed the Mercedes Fascination Center, Yanko Design writes that it is "Mustafa Al-Nuaimi’s attempt to reinterpret the auto brand’s image in architectural form." He definitely succeeded.
