‘Public Figure’ is an urban device. This proposal will be exhibited at the GGG Pavilion at Art | Basel | Miami. Architecture as a cultural practice is obliged to create spatial environments that allow communities to grow and engage with each other. Community and public spaces are important cultural areas of our society and need to be upgraded with architectural design ideas that are attractive, functional, and allow for multipurpose use. The bold iconic form of the design proposal, its multifunctional use, and the material qualities including transparent, colorful and ephemeral properties, will be an attractor to the public and start a process of urban communication. The project will be used for informal gathering, and for organized events, such as small lectures and receptions of the institution.
