The keynote speech by Pritzker Prize winner Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9 and the appearance by <span class=\"xn-person\">Nihal Saad<\/span>, Chief of Cabinet of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, made the ceremony a special event. In addition to the performance by star tenor <span class=\"xn-person\">Jonas Kaufmann<\/span> the festivities concluded with a special highlight: With twelve vertical dancers, the US dance project BANDALOOP transformed the BMW Headquarters into a stage in its German premiere. The ensemble created a weightless synthesis for an interplay of architecture and dance. Along with music by <span class=\"xn-person\">Ben Juodvalkis<\/span>, the fa\u00e7ade dancers presented &#8220;Momentum Curve&#8221;, an exclusive performance as a tribute to the unique architecture.<\/p>\n<p>The BMW Group Headquarters, with its suspended construction, is one of the most innovative engineering buildings of the post-war period. In the process, upper floors were first manufactured on the ground, then moved upwards hydraulically on the massive &#8220;tower shaft&#8221; made of reinforced concrete and completed in several segments. In <span class=\"xn-chron\">August 1972<\/span>, the BMW Group Headquarters was completed. Designed by Austrian architect Professor <span class=\"xn-person\">Karl Schwanzer<\/span>, the administrative building has since become an icon with global appeal for <span class=\"xn-location\">Munich<\/span> and the company. The innovative power of Schwanzer&#8217;s design stands for the BMW Group then as now, making the company headquarters a beacon of sustainable mobility for tomorrow. It is not only a symbol of economic success but also stands for international exchange, peace and interculturalism. Today, the &#8220;built communication&#8221; implemented by Schwanzer points the way to a new era of electrification, digitalization, and circularity.<\/p>\n<p>Further information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.press.bmwgroup.com\/global\/article\/detail\/T0402300EN?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BMW PressClub<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Picture is available at AP Images (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apimages.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/www.apimages.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dr <span class=\"xn-person\">Thomas Girst<\/span><br \/>Head of BMW Group Cultural Engagement<br \/>Telephone: +49 89 382 24753<br \/>Email: <a href=\"mailto:Thomas.Girst@bmwgroup.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">thomas.girst@bmwgroup.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUNICH, July 22, 2022 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; The BMW Group celebrated its corporate headquarters as an internationally renowned architectural icon today with over 200 international guests in attendance.
