Art Meets Architecture and Design in Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum in Miami

Interior renderings have been released for the One Thousand Museum, a skyscraper in Downtown Miami that is just one of the many projects started by Zaha Hadid before her untimely passing. The 62-story tower features a contoured exterior, and a structurally strategic exoskeleton which has left the building almost entirely column-free and open. The luxurious residence also includes its own private helipad, a two-story aquatic center and sky lounge, a duplex penthouse, several full-floor penthouses, half-floor residences, townhouse residencies, indoor and outdoor spas, and a sculptural sun and swim terrace. Every detail of the building has been thoughtfully planned, including it`s location. The One Thousand Museum neighbors other stunning architectural feats such as the Perez Art Museum, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, and Frank Gehry`s New World Symphony, while overlooking Museum Park and Biscayne Bay. The skyscraper will be completed posthumously, with expected completion in 2018.

Atlanta’s High Museum of Art will soon be hosting the “Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas” exhibition. Curated in partnership with Ken Gross, veteran automotive writer and historian, the exhibition will use the automobile as a lens to explore the ideas behind design and innovation. Featuring 17 marvellous concept cars that range from 1935 to contemporary times, the exhibition will include the elegant 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Aerolithe, 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt and the jet-inspired 1955 Chrysler Ghia. In addition, models and drawings will be on display to illustrate the various stages of design behind these beautiful vehicles. The exhibition will open up to the public on May 21 and will run through to September 7 at the High Museum of Art Atlanta.
