Cool architecture

 EYE Film Museum

The new EYE Film Museum in Amsterdam.  Read about this in the newpaper today and loved the design by Delugan Meissl Architects.  Seems they specialize in building that seem to be in movement.  I've pulled a couple of other examples of their work and posted below.

Darat King Abdullah II, by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects

A performing arts centre for the Jordanian capital Amman, designed by Austrian architects Delugan Meissl.

Delugan Meissl architects have sent us some information on their performing arts centre project in Amman, Jordan and we are delighted to share it with you on desMena.
An open gesture that adapts to its special context
Proposed at a prime location in the heart of the Jordanian capital, the complex is planned to house all types of performing arts. Conceived as a place to rehearse, discuss, teach, study and perform, the complex is to become the premier venue for theatre, music and dance performances and education - a vital element of the cultural life and identity of Amman and all of Jordan.

The Porche Museum 

The edifice by Vienna’s Delugan Meissl Associated Architects is an eye-catcher. The fascinating impact of the monolithic, virtually floating exhibition hall can be felt. This bold and dynamic architecture reflects the company’s philosophy. It is designed to convey a sense of arrival and approachability, and to guide the visitors smoothly from the basement level into the superstructure - this is how the architects express their dedication.
