Arquitectonica is credited with reshaping Miami through its designs and, by that same token, continues to push the limits and raise the bar with its innovative use of materials, geometry, pattern and color. Miami Art Week officially kicked off when 57 Ocean, the newest condominium designed by the world-renowned firm, hosted “The Art of Architecture,” a panel discussion and book signing.

Held at Prime Private – Prime 112’s brand-new private event space on Ocean Drive — the gathering showcased 57 Ocean’s impressive scale model (unveiled for the first time that evening) and explored the legacy of Arquitectonica, which was founded in 1978 by the husband-and-wife team of Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear. At that time, the firm operated out of a small office in Coconut Grove founded by a small group in their early 20s. Today, the firm enjoys nine offices worldwide.

Miami Herald Visual Arts and Business editor Jane Wooldridge moderated the lively discussion between Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Alastair Gordon — the author of the new, eponymous book about the firm, Arquitectonica – published by Rizzoli. The Art Week premiere also served to highlight 57 Ocean, an ultra-luxury residential building comprising just 81exquisite residences. Developed by Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management – which is led by José Isaac Peres, the internationally recognized Brazilian developer and owner of major residential and commercial real estate holdings – the boutique condominium is the very first project by ARQUITECTONICA in Miami to boast a specific focus on wellness.

At 57 Ocean, Arquitectonica took cues from the project’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, citing the relaxing sound of breaking waves, year-round ocean breezes, and the site’s exceptional vistas toward the horizon.
