چکیده:
The present study focuses on the impact of technology on German's contemporary architecture,
concentrating on the BMW's museum construction. The researchers' approach is descriptive
analytic resulting in what defines modern architecture of BMW museum as technology. In fact,
studying the impact of industry on building and architecture, industrial revolution and technology
and production becoming mechanical have proved the role of technology in “nature” and “form” of
architecture. Applying modern technology on the construction of automobile museum buildings,
Germans proved, all over the world, their scientific, political and industrial achievements as the
most developed country in Europe. The form of these buildings shows new characteristics and a
hormonal flexibility with industry and technology as a result of technology improvements. The
changes in constructing process, manufacturing, material usage and building systems enable
architecture to shape new spaces in accordance with “styles of lives”, and create desirable places to show the attitude of modern man and his achievements. In other words, man can possess a better and more profound understanding of the world by using the forms which enjoy modern technology.

Applying modern technology on the construction of automobile museum buildings, Germans proved, all over the world, their scientific, political and industrial achievements as the most developed country in Europe.
The changes in constructing process, manufacturing, material usage and building systems enable architecture to shape new spaces in accordance with “styles of lives”, and create desirable places to show the attitude of modern man and his achievements.
The activities of Werkbund (1907), changing the idea of “time” and the sense of its unity with space, futurism and its manifesto about speed that led to a new concept of aesthetics, motivation of mobility, as well as the main philosophy of the most important art and architecture school in twentieth century, Bauhaus, about the connection between art and industry were the most effective ingredients in evolutions of contemporary architecture.
Hence, to be aware of the role of technology in Germany’s (as a flourishing country in the world) contemporary architecture, the focus was laid on the BMW museum; the building shows the characteristics of its time and the capability of high-tech architecture in the creation of proportional spaces for mechanical life.
