Automobile Museum in Nanjing / 3gatti Architecture Studio: Concept

The Automobile Museum in Nanjing features a unique design with winding ramps instead of floors, allowing visitors to drive their own cars through different levels of the building to view exhibits. Visitors first drive their car up the spiral ramp to view cars chronologically from modern to vintage. They can then experience walking down through the exhibits in reverse chronological order, starting with vintage cars on the top level and ending with modern cars on the bottom. This design provides different viewing angles of the cars and an immersive experience of ascending and descending through the collection.

Automobile Museum in Nanjing / 3Gatti Architecture Studio

“Car Experience”

Concept :

Here visitor will not find stairs to


different floors, walls and elevators,
but ramps which wind sinuously
upwards creating a fluid conception of
space, and where the flux of cars can
move freely and reach the different
levels of the building.

Visitor Experience :

he visitor enters the museum with his own car and initiates the exhibition’s journey as on a safari, going up the external spiral
and experiencing a rather “extreme” sensation – as the ramp consists of rapid ascents and descents which create an
undulating, uneven surface facilitating the exhibition of cars from different angles and enabling the visitor to observe them
from either above or below.

In this way visiting the museum is divided into two types of experience:

The first is the experience of going up in one’s own car. As one ascends one advances chronologically from the more
modern cars down below to arrive finally at the vintage cars on the top level.

the second is the experience of going down on foot.


Contrary to the previous experience the descent starts
chronologically from the display of vintage cars at the top and
arrives at the more modern cars on the ground floor.
