HISTORY OF AUTOMOTIVE ART MUSEUM

H.A.A.M. Site Houston,Texas

Program The site is located in the Museum district of Houston, Texas. The concept of the museum design is to focus attention on the cars as art work. The cylindrical nature of a piston in an engine was the inspiration of the car display. An elongated building type helps to create a minimalist space.
