The design includes a seamless composition of white modular seating within a newly designed exterior courtyard space that will adapt to different events and gallery exhibits. Some of the improvements include the select demolition, the removal and replacement of the existing canopy fabric to install a removable turnbuckle canopy system, which will compliment the overall alchemy of the space and exterior flow, by allowing natural light to enter while still protecting visitors and art installations. This movable shading structure is mold resistant, self-cleaning, and reduces the heat while letting the breeze circulate through. It also helps to uplift the design of the museum because it can be modified to compliment the forever changing aspect of the exhibitions. <br />BEA is also doing the installation of a new trench drain along with a storm-water drainage system and the removal of the existing paver system for a new permeable paver system. The lighting fixtures are being replaced to praise the galleries. New landscaping is added to the museum to improve the experience of the guests, by including modular, portable planters that will reinvent the courtyard’s façade year-round with lush palms. The façade and exterior walls are also being painted and renovated. Museum’s guest will be able to enjoy the magnificent art accompanied with the tropical feel that Miami has. <br />Previous Experience
