Museum Garage elevates automobile sculptures in Miami Design District

Museum Garage elevates automobile sculptures in Miami Design District - TheArsenale
Miami's Design District is heralded as the place to be during the Art Basel Festival, and now the vibrant city hosts a seven story concrete Museum that calls on a diverse range of influences. The Museum Garage was designed and engineered by Miami-based studio Tim Haahs in collaboration with project manager Javier Sánchez. Nestled between K/R and Nicolas Buffe’s respective facades, Spanish firm Clavel Arquitectos’s 'Urban Jam' elevates 45 gravity-defying classic car bodies in metallic gold and silver. The automotive styles of yesteryears are given a rebirth as sculptures, trapped in a surrealistic vertical traffic jam. It is influenced by the regeneration of urban life in the Miami Design District; where discarded spaces and old structures have been repurposed by urban and architectural design. The facade uses the same method of recycling and creates a dramatic entrance that is bound to capture the imaginations of people who appreciate avant-garde design, sculpture and automotive curiosities.
