January 6, 2010; Munich, Germany; A man looks out the window of the Museum Brandhorst - situated in the north-eastern corner of the ‘Kunstareal’ that includes the Alte and Neue Pinakothek museums as well as the Pinakothek der Moderne, with its entrance at the junction of Tuerkenstrasse and Theresienstrasse. The design by Sauerbruch Hutton architects in Berlin is a long, two-storey, rectangular structure abutting a considerably higher, trapezium-shaped section that widens to the north. The precise contours of both parts are linked by a continuous ribbon glazing that culminates in the generous glazed area at the main entrance. Here a corner window running the full height of the building cuts boldly through the structure to the North West, ensuring that the spacious foyer with the museum ticket desk, bookshop and restaurant receive natural light from three sides and enjoy different views.
