'Drive-through' museum inspired by origami


This one is too good not to share. And I thought the only 'urban' safaris were those in the 4WD commercials.

A "drive-through" car museum with gravity-defying exhibition spaces inspired by origami is being constructed in China.Visitors to the new Automobile Museum in Nanjing will drive their cars to the top of the building around external ramps, before walking back down through the floors to see the other displays.

The Italian architect behind the pioneering design, which was chosen after an international competition, said that he wanted to replicate the experience of a safari in an urban environment.
