The parking garage is generally a utilitarian affair. Like the cars they house, parking garages are generally seen as necessary evils, blights on the urban landscape that are better left in the background. There is one city, however, where this isn\u2019t the case: In Miami, parking garages, like all buildings, are designed to stand out. For evidence, one need only look to Herzog & de Meuron\u2019s iconic structure at 1111 Lincoln Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Now, a new parking garage is about to make its mark in Miami\u2019s burgeoning Design District. The Museum Garage is being outfitted with six radically different, radically colorful new fa\u00e7ades. Curated by Terence Riley of K\/R<\/a>, this Miami makeover is the product of six design teams working in collaboration. <\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

The teams include the firms Sagmeister & Walsh<\/a>, WORKac<\/a>, Clavel Arquitectos<\/a>, J. MAYER H.<\/a> and the artist Nicolas Buffe<\/a>. The designs are as fascinating as they are eclectic, ranging from a wall of cars to a human-scale ant farm. J. MAYER\u2019s red-and-white striped corner unit is particularly bold, with swooping aluminum panels forming a building envelope akin to a gigantic jigsaw puzzle.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

The seven-story Museum Garage includes mixed-use gallery and retail space in addition to the garage itself, which accommodates 800 cars. The renovation of the fa\u00e7ade is expected to wrap up by the end of the year. Yet another excuse to visit Miami!<\/p>\n
