“So much more could have been done with the form and the exterior cladding.”

I think I saw Herzog quoted as saying they designed it to be just bones without any hint of cladding. That way it stands apart from everything else. Apparently they have office spaces for lease too, not just retail – http://1111lincolnroad.blogspot.com/

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

The design is so bad they had to put an exit sign in the RENDERING of the parking garage.
