Район Майами — Miami Design District — стал местом, известным на весь мир. Усилиями дальновидного девелопера Крейга Робинса малопривлекательный в прошлом городской квартал стал ассоциироваться с передовой модой, искусством, дизайном и культурой. Популярные люксовые бренды, такие как Prada, Tom Ford или Louis Vuitton, открыли здесь магазины, сюда устремились музейщики, арт-дилеры, ювелиры и знаменитые шефы. Такие всемирно известные архитектурные команды, как OMA, Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid Architects построили здесь объекты.
The latest achievement of the Miami Design District is the “museum in the parking lot”. “Garages are the least attractive objects, and yet you see them everywhere. We wanted to turn the garage into the most interesting structure in Miami, ”said Robins at the opening ceremony of the Museum Garage at the Institute of Contemporary Art.
Robins invited Terence Riley, the former chief curator of architecture and design at MoMA, to run the project. As a starting point, Riley took the old game, invented by the surrealists called Cadavre Exquis, in which the artist draws on paper, folds the sheet, then passes it on to another to continue the drawing, without seeing what the previous one had in mind.
J. Mayer H. XOX project looks like giant blocks of a single puzzle. Riley invited four architectural design firms, and also instructed his company K / R to work on individual fragments of the facade, not allowing him to know in advance who and what would be next. At the concept stage, only size restrictions were provided to all: height and depth.
Riley's terms were accepted by WORKac from New York, German company J. Mayer H., Spaniards Clavel Arquitectos and French Studio Nicolas Buffe headquartered in Tokyo. J. Mayer H. XOX project looks like giant blocks of a single puzzle. Decorated with brightly colored stripes, they resemble the aerodynamic forms of the automotive industry.
