Adjacent to Miami’s Museum Park, a larger-than-life structural sculpture is on permanent display. The One Thousand Museum residential tower, designed by the late Zaha Hadid, is approaching its 709 ft height, despite the issues faced by the team building its undulating exoskeleton.
The 62-story project’s main feature is a sinuous frame on all four elevations. The fluid style is quintessential Hadid, who was dubbed “queen of the curve.” Though undulating forms were a signature of the London-based architect, who died in 2016 while in Miami, they presented challenges for the building team.
