Petersen Automotive Museum renovation

Not exactly about vehicle aerodynamics but about aero inspiration for the world's best auto museum. The new and dramatic exterior of LA's Petersen Museum; they wanted it to 'look' fast, so they used primary red walls accented by changing LED halo lighting. They also took graphic inspiration from fluid dynamics of iconic smoke trails of wind tunnel vehicle studies. The dramatic visualization of the 'streamlines' or stainless steel ribbons flow around and over the top of the existing museum structure. Follow the primary ribbon flow as it 'hits' the acute angled corner of Fairfax and Wilshire, curling around Orange Grove.
