Detail of the ADAC (Europe's largest motoring association) headquarters building in Munich's Sendling-Westpark district. It was built between 2006 and 2011 to a design by the Berlin-based architectural firm Sauerbruch Hutton. The building consists of two main elements. A five-story base, in the shape of an amoeba and characterized by its rounded edges, marks the outer ground plan, and on top of this are a further 18 high-rise floors. In contrast to the discreetly designed façade of the base, the 30,000-square-meter glass façade of the high-rise building was given a special design. Like a mosaic, the 22 different colors of the 1,152 facade elements create a play of colors.
