pro aurum headquarters in Munich-Riem

The interior space and interactive exhibition for the new headquarters of pro aurum GmbH and Co. KG in Munich were designed and implemented by Büro Achter April, in conjunction with Andreas Mantz, mantz design konstruktion.

One of the leading European companies in precious metals trading, and numismatic coins, pro aurum has clearly defined new architectural standards with its new space.

Structure, form, and high quality materials harmonize sucessfully to convey both reliability and modernity through design. The new space allows for discretion, yet also a clear orientation with its clean lines and bold spatial elements.

The Earth is Round! The Image of the Earth in the Middle Ages.

The medieval belief that the Earth was a flat slab floating on the Seven Seas is a modern myth. Already in that era, people were aware that the Earth was round. Only the Universe was conceived as a two-dimensional hierarchy, with God residing above in the Heavens and the Devil below in the depths of the Earth. World maps of the period confirm this perspective.
