The offshore stilt houses of Miami, trees and support structures as point of reference.
One of the few public pieces of land along Biscayne Bay is available for a new art museum; the adjoining Bicentennial Park is to be revitalized.
Within two days, preliminary concepts are drawn up, proposing different types of volumes.
Diverse exhibition spaces loosely arranged within a basic layout determine the shape of the museum.
The exhibition floors of the museum are raised above ground to avoid flooding. They form an open, floating structure between ground and roof area.
Layers of the building: parking level, two floors of exhibition spaces, offices, and roof structure.
Studies for incorporating local vegetation and a hanging garden into the museum and the veranda.
Auditorium and stairs form a multifunctional space between the two exhibition floors.
Concrete is used in a variety of ways, partially in response to the subtropical coastal climate: poured (A), planed (B), roughened (C), polished (D).
A mock-up is made to test concrete surfaces, exhibition spaces, and materials.
Building the load-bearing structure of concrete elements with supports up to two stories high.
In its completed form, PAMM is a facade-free building that can be accessed from all four sides.
In the new museum, hybrid, flowing zones for reception, exhibitions, restaurant and lectures, embedded galleries and the intimate reading niches throughout create a diversity of spatial experiences.
