quote: Vienna-based Delugan Meissl Associated Architects is expert at devising buildings that appear to be in motion; their best-known, the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, looks like it could leave a sports car in the dust. Which explains the excitement surrounding their latest project, the newly opened Eye Film Institute (shown) in Amsterdam. An aerodynamic structure that would stand out anywhere, the motion-picture museum is a particular sensation in this city of stolid brick buildings. According to partner Dietmar Feistel, the goal of the design—which nods to the charged compositions of Zaha Hadid and Austria’s most influential firm, Coop Himmelb(l)au—wasn’t to achieve a specific form so much as a feeling, as he puts it, “of being suspended between the real world and the world of cinema.” Thanks to the Eye’s glass-enclosed main floor, says Feistel, “you can spend time after a screening in an environment where you don’t have to confront the harsh realities of life.” eyefilm.nl
