Volkswagen Parking Lot Towers At Autostadt
From Design Boom:
Spanning approximately 16 stories, two silos are used as a kind of temporary vertical parking lot at Volkswagen’s production facility and Autostadt visitor attraction in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The 48-meter tall silos are composed of glass and galvanized steel, illuminated by night.
A conveyor belt system transports finished cars directly from the adjacent manufacturing plant to the towers’ basement. From there, they are lifted into position via mechanical arms that rotate and run along a central beam, moving vehicles in and out of their bays at a speed of two meters per second.More information, and videos, can be found at DesignBoom here

Kenn and I found some nice things yesterday. Also, I’m in Naples right now and just visited some neckwear companies. If you’re a fan of high-end Neapolitan ties, there’s some very good news in store for you. I’ll do a write up next week or so.
