We are pleased to announce the incredible opportunity we have had to present in Art Basel Miami this nice project designed by FR-EE.
A private art collector is developing his well-known gallery, specialized in modern and contemporary art from Latin America, into a new museum: the Latin American Art Miami (LAAM). He invited FR-EE to design it. The collection includes artists such as Diego Rivera, Fernando Botero, Wifredo Lam, Guillermo Kutica, Roberto Matta, Rufino Tamayo, among others.
The building has been inspired by the different sections of the urban composite of Miami, whose outline give shape to each of the four levels. The floors develop into generous terraces, which ease the borderline between indoors and outdoors, and transform the spaces into real “sculptural gardens”. The different levels define the program of the museum. The first floor is reserved to emergent artists, the second one will house temporary exhibitions, the third floor will show a selection of works of the permanent collection. A restaurant will be located on the upper floor.
