Herzog and De Meuron in Maiami; Much more than a parking lot

More than a parking lot 1111 is a new approach to car parks.

I quite like how Miami has embraced the car park as a viable building for it's cultural centre. When I first saw this I immediately started thinking about Reyner Banham in Los Angeles and how the car, the highway etc are all symbols of America and especially towns like Miami where you imagine everyone driving around. So seeing it celebrated and evolved for people today and in a respectful way is good. Really, really good.
