It’s not quite the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but it will come close enough to stir a visitor’s imagination just the same. Herzog & de Meuron’s design for the new Miami Art Museum (MAM) aims to produce a living building where the outdoors come inside to frame galleries that bridge continents and cultures.

It will help visitors gradually transition from Miami’s tropical climate to the museum’s more regulated interior. (to find out more..)
