A $1.2bn, three-block project designed by Netherlands-based architect OMA has been opened to the public at the new cultural Faena District in Miami Beach.

Faena Forum, Faena Park, and Faena Bazaar were built for the site along Collins Avenue.

Faena Forum's lead designer Shohei Shigematsu said: “Our creative partnership with Faena began with identity research and has evolved into urban design, programming, building-making, and scenography.

“These diverse investigations had a profound impact on the Forum's ability to accommodate the programmatic demands of functioning as a new typology for interaction."

The building has two blocks including a cylindrical events hall connected to a cuboid containing a hotel and meeting rooms, reported Dezeen.
