If the fabulous landscaping, architecture and the famous CarTowers weren’t enough to persuade you to take a visit to Volkswagen’s impressive ‘Autostadt‘, then this new permanent exhibition from Berlin architects J. Mayer H. might tip the balance for you. A collaboration with interactive media specialists, and fellow Berliners, Art+Com, this otherworldly, architectural space offers experiential learning on sustainability issues through a variety of touch-screen technical installations. The rather ginormous green shapey things are apparently based upon the internationally recognised PET symbol, which we’re sure was all very nice to say when presented to the client, but who are they kidding? This beautifully bizarre, luminous, melted wall madness was surely born from some crazy hallucinogenic toad-licking experience.

Seriously, in this day and age of trying to go green, preserve nature, and conserve resources, this has to be one of the most wasteful, nonproductive, unergonomic, nonfunctional, and just plain ugly wastes of space and materials I have seen yet. Kudos to the clever charlatan who conned a bunch of corporate dolts into flushing millions down the toilet for this. Next time, just take the cash, go out on the street and randomly give it away to people passing by. It would be more constructive than this monstrosity.
