Shopping mall
Brickell City Centre
701 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33130, USA
Roofless retail district shaded by a sculptural steel-and-glass canopy that channels ocean breezes.
This guide to Brickell City Centre in Miami traces the block's history from an abandoned billion-dollar construction site left empty by the 2008 financial crash to its revival by Hong Kong developer Swire Properties in 2011. It follows architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Paris engineer Hugh Dutton's design for the lattice of steel, glass and fabric overhead, unveiled at a champagne party during Art Basel in December 2015. Stand beneath it and look up while you listen.
