About the project
LAAM is going to be situated within a residential complex, so it will work as the main access to the people living in the 111 apartments, which are going to be built later. The terraces will also spark off the curiosity of the neighbors and the pedestrians strolling in Biscayne Boulevard, so it will also work as an invitation to visit the museum. The terraces of the different floors can indeed be called “sculptural gardens”, since they will contain the art pieces at open air. The idea behind this conception is to offer something we could call “aesthetical quality life”. The first floor will be reserved to young and emergent artists; the second one will be for temporal exhibitions; the third floor will house a selection of 600 pieces belonging to the permanent collection; finally, a restaurant will crown the top of the building. This will emphasize the benefits of the tropical architecture, such as natural air circulation, access to open spaces, foliage and the presence of the sea and the sun. The different levels of the building define LAAM’S program. Architect: FR-EE / Fernando Romero EnterprisE
