Nestle Museum, Mexico
Posted by Scott
"This is a new Nestle Chocolate Museum in Mexico City designed by Rojkind Arquitectos in origami style. When things of a chocolate museums an image of a house in the shape of a chocolate bar pops into mind, this museum is in the shape of origami and looks great. The museum displays Nestle’s chocolate products and now is welcoming visitors. It took 75 days to design and build."

In Vladivostok.
It makes perfect sense!

Just waiting for the Oompas to show up…

I have plans on visiting it soon, more info at:

June 22, 2008 at 7:40 amReally astonishing building I’ve seen popping up every now and then and it always amazes me.
Off course there’s Zaha Hadid’s oraganic shapes but this one has a similar effect only with more geametrical shapes.
I read something in my newspaper today that amazinly fits right inbetween those two. It’s the Litllehampton East Beach Café done by Thomas Heatherwick.
