Two of the most highly sought-after architecture practices in the
industry are going head-to-head in a competition for the masterplanning
of the 52-acre Miami Beach Convention Center site. OMA (Netherlands) and
Bjarke Ingels Group (Denmark) are the final two contenders in the high
profile design competition and have recently released visualisations of
their concepts.
The competition challenged entrants to modernise and expand the aging
convention centre at Miami Beach, incorporating a new hotel and private
developments into a vacant expanse currently occupied by an asphalt
parking lot. The Miami Beach Convention Center was built in 1957 and has
undergone several renovations and expansion projects over the last
decades. It currently operates out of four rooms, each of which holds
approximately 12,000 people.
