Next week, the concrete pour will begin on Zaha Hadid Architect's new residential tower overlooking downtown Miami's Museum Park. The 62-floor tower, located at 1000 Biscayne Blvd., includes "museum-quality" town homes and three degrees of penthouses: half-floor, full-floor and single duplex. The entire building will house only 83 residences, with luxury amenities for "swimming, socializing, fitness, and pampering".
According to ZHA's brochure on One Thousand Museum (OTM), every bit of the building's interior will be scented by 12.29 olfactory consultants. OTM will also be Miami's first residential tower to boast a private helipad. OTM has not specified whether it will scent the interior of its residents' helicopters.
The twisting, root-like structural design in the building's facade, built with glass-fiber reinforced concrete, is meant to live up to the tower's "museum-quality" standard of living, as are its grounds, designed by landscape architect Enzo Enea.
The building is slated for completion by the end of 2017.

That is a very nice one piece glass guardrail in image 4. I would think that was just a sloppy renderer leaving out the divisions, but everything else about the building is ridiculous, so why not that too?
Vaginatecture
absolutely impressive!
miles, who complains about Vagina?
Why does everything she does look like her face?
Residential high rises are a tough type to rework into something interesting but still usable. When you stack a bunch of standard units, it always looks about the same.
To the extent that her work is an exploration of spatial aesthetics and form-making I don't think she's succeeded here. Maybe the built building will be more interesting than the renderings.
Maybe it'll look better after value engineering
Carrera, can you describe the look of "her face"? I'd like to understand and read your claim visually.
^Maybe it's just me, can't you see it?
Maybe it's the repeat of the nose...
They say people look like their dogs....
she is a beautiful arab. she's got Hammurabi's eyes. didn't realize until now, you had a crush on her.
^I guess we’re back to defining beautiful, which is another thread, I’m sticking with mine.
Which male architects look like their buildings? I mean, if someone's physical appearance has anything to do with their envisioned structures, then let's be gender neutral.
Jesus Christ Donna:)
It does not look at all like her face, and I don't know what her other parts look like. But anthropomorphism is alive and well in architecture, probably as wish fulfillment (Rem ...).
^Miles, you’re going to pay for that one:)
Carrera you are prejudiced towards Zaha Hadid.
^Guess you missed the founding thread last November, with 27 posts that think the anatomical connections are funny, even tammuz thought it was funny. I have a dislike for her work, but it isn’t derived from prejudice….guess I picked the wrong part of the anatomy.

I enjoy jokes about stadiums that look like vaginas and skyscrapers that look like dicks. Neither of those jokes has anything to do with the way the designer's face looks.
So I'll see your Daily Show clip and raise you one that is more relevant: the episode addressing Caitlyn Jenner's transition, in which the key phrase is this: "You see, Caitlyn, when you were a man, we could talk about your athleticism, your business acumen, but now you're a woman and your looks are really the only thing we care about."
