OMA Faena Forum, Faena Bazaar and Park - Miami Beach

The Faena District in Miami Beach, designed by the architects of OMA, consists of three separate buildings: Faena Forum, Faena Bazaar and Park, linked by public spaces and offering views over the Atlantic Ocean.

The new district offers the city a dynamic combination of art, culture and design as well as services. The three buildings include Faena Park, a multi-purpose construction with a parking lot and commercial spaces with views over the Atlantic Ocean. The Faena Bazaar is the historic Atlantic Beach Hotel, which the architects of OMA have renovated, preserving a number of original details of the walls and entrance foyer and adding an intimate new inner courtyard and a panoramic penthouse with an ocean view.

But the building that truly attracts attention and stands out in the area, clearly identifiable in the photographs by Iwan Baan, is the iconic Faena Forum. Two volumes, a cube and a cylinder, of the same height, promise an inclusive experience in the world of the arts. A few simple internal changes are sufficient to create big spaces for hosting temporary initiatives and events requiring particular technical facilities, such as perfect acoustics for concerts. All completed by exhibition galleries capable of hosting both traditional art exhibitions and innovative cultural programmes.
