- 🏛The Great Hall of Art🏛 - Walk through the tunnels until you reach the bottom of the BMW Atrium. Now look up. Like a hot knife through butter, this cathedral-like space with its smooth edges and curves looks as if it was perfectly carved by architect, Thomas Heatherwick himself. - #BMWAtrium #ThomasHeatherwick #GrainSilos #Architecture
