BMW Headquarters (BMW Tower) is a Munich landmark declared a protected historic building in 1999. The Tower was built between 1968 and 1972. The 101-metre (331 ft) building is located near the Olympic Village. The tower's exterior is supposed to mimic the shape of four cylinders in a car engine, with the museum representing a cylinder head. Both buildings were designed by the Austrian architect Karl Schwanzer

The main tower consists of four vertical cylinders standing next to and across from each other. Each cylinder is divided horizontally in its center by a mold in the facade. Notably, these cylinders do not stand on the ground; they are suspended on a central support tower. During the construction, individual floors were assembled on the ground and then elevated. The tower has a diameter of 52.30 metres (171.6 ft)

A long thin park in southwest Munich, made between 1978 and 1983, Westpark hosted the 1983 IGA (International Garden Show). It is a good example of the style of the times: curvilinear abstract modern, with daring use of herbaceous plants. A green bridge carries the park over Garmischer Strasse. There are a number of Asian gardens and structures in Westpark
