Architects Herzog & de Meuron have designed 1111 Lincoln Road, a “retail, residential, dining and parking experience” on Miami Beach.

The development features open-sided parking decks accessed by curving ramps.

The project’s website features a downloadable animation.

where is hdm going? this is not more than a C in students first year challenge. no concept no sense of material nothing innovative… very sad.
March 24th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
not very exciting in comparison to what they can do..
March 24th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I am with poster - there must be an error here.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
no error here, hdm are going japanese. this is not surprising at all from what I have heard where their current interests are.
but reminds bit of ito and some of his “offspring”.

Ha, a bit rough crowd..
Seriously now, they have a high quality of living to keep up, and carparks are quite uninspiring still, although they are getting better…
It shows that they care more about other things, lets hope it gets built. And gets adored by everybody with driving in with a SUV.

this one is the most ugly from Herzog and de Meuron I have ever seen.
March 25th, 2008 at 2:35 am
what a sad incomplete project…hdm are my favorite but this is just a bad joke…maybe they just did something according to that cheap city
March 25th, 2008 at 4:46 am
This is infact quite an exciting scheme…I have not seen any other studio in the last 10 years approach a ‘carpark’ design as refreshingly as HdM.
There is alot more to this project than the images make out - shame there is no commentry to accompany the images and explain the concept.
The carpark is more than just a carpark…infact this is one carpark that people will be queuing for!

sad…
looks like a bad mvrdv

The architecture is dead my friend, there are no news. No more art, just exterior impact.

It’s a good thing it never rains in Miami.
March 25th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
The design is so bad they had to put an exit sign in the RENDERING of the parking garage.

Arquitecture is dead. today there are not Commitment. Its all business, all Hypocrisy

i would love to learn how to skate, it sounds much cooler to go down those ramps on skates or roller, than to have heavy, polluting elements as the “reason to be” of this building!
March 26th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
great architecture addition in miami,a very innovative structural way,yours comments are superficial,this is not a busy architecture, but a rare example of a developer who love art and architecture, uou can’t say now ,on for bad images, go in 2009 and see live in lincoln road a new masterwork.

This is rediculous…. Let’s at least say the selection of autos is on point. Visual communication is paramount, this looks like a reasonable peice of architecture with highly commercial wrapping. Whoever was in charge of the narrative needs a good kick in the ass. Let’s at least say the selection of autos is on point.
I’d say the storytelling is dead in this instance.

Wonderfull project!

amazing & perfect

It does rain in Miami.
have you watched the animation? the top floor is an open-air nightclub apparently - it’s funny.
I like it better than those weird bastardised Guggenheim carparks everywhere else.
I am a fan of this carpark is what I am saying…

this shits getting built in front of my window view of my office. Horrible i used to enjoy looking at skanky dressed girls walking up and down the plaza now i see bulldozers moving dirt around, eventually i’ll be staring at a parking garage. As an Architecture mayor i can say this building is a truly poor design. It has some bad proportions and very poor aesthetics to say the least. So much more could have been done with the form and the exterior cladding. Just look at the building across the street.
