BIGTHINKING
The world’s hottest architect
designs the future.

By Irene Moore

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, whose creations
have garnered worldwide attention, is one of the
architects who has recently graced Miami’s skyline
with a plethora of innovation. The Bjarke Ingels
Group’s Coconut Grove development for Terra
Group, Grove at Grand Bay, has created a new landmark in
the community. The development is comprised of a pair of
“dancing” 20-story glass residential towers, set amid the lush,
untamed flora and fauna for which Coconut Grove is known.
Overlooking Biscayne Bay, the towers feature brise-soleil style
balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the full
breadth of the area’s panoramic views — from sailboat bays
to the marina to the Miami skyline. “By creating twisting
towers that rise side by side — but never cross paths — we
were able to optimize views, outdoor spaces, and the flexibility
of our floor plans, while allowing the buildings to interact
with one another,” says Ingels.

Street, the office tower is slated to be finished in 2020, as part
of the rebuilt World Trade Center. It replaces the original Two
World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the September
11 attacks. When completed, the glass-clad tower will consist
of seven stacked cuboids on a 16-acre site. It will be located
on the east side of Greenwich Street, across the street from
the original location of the Twin Towers.

Other new projects include two currently under
construction in Canada — the Telus Sky Tower in downtown
Calgary and Vancouver House. The Telus Skytower creates
a lively mixture of working to living, with an intersection of
light rail and arterial roads in the heart of the center, creating

is a mixed-use urban village, composed of intimately scaled
spaces for working, shopping, and leisure — all which face
onto public plazas and pathways.

On the Waterfront

Miami’s Watson Island
becomes a hopping party
spot for superyacht owners.

By Michelle F. Solomon

The Deck at Island Gardens has become the place to
see and be seen. It draws the global yachting circuit
and Miami’s nightlife crowd, but it’s only the tip of
the iceberg of what Mehmet Bayraktar has in store
for Watson Island. He has visions of Miami becoming North
America’s newest superyachting capital and has already assured
that status by creating the United States’ first marina built for
mega yachts. Currently in full swing and accepting superyachts,
Island Gardens Deep Harbour opened last January and can
hold up to 50 superyachts, up to 550 feet in length.

Add to that the building of a $1-billion mixed-use
development at one of Miami’s most desirable locations,
and the latest luxury entertainment and lifestyle destination
on Biscayne Bay is well on its way.

Bayraktar, chairman and CEO of Flagstone Property
Group, will create 221,000 square feet of retail and restaurant
offerings on the island — plus hotel and residential space. He
received approval from the city in 2001 for his development
on the coveted piece of land. According to the developer,
the entire Island Gardens project should be completed by
2018. Building is expected to commence this fall.

“We knew there were plans for museums, performing arts
centers, and downtown buildings that would open that would
be in close proximity to our location. We did have naysayers
in the beginning that said, ‘This is not Miami. This is not
Miami Beach.’ And when you’d say that Island Gardens will
be on Watson Island, people would ask questions on how
they would get there,” he recalls. “ ‘Do you take a ferry? Do
you swim there?’ “ he jokes. Unlike Fisher Island, which does

Gallery has a long history of exhibiting at Art
Miami, and the fair has been very good to her
and her artists. Kicking off its 26th edition, Art
Miami hosted a private cocktail reception and
screening of the award-winning film “Bernice”
— the story of art pioneer Bernice Steinbaum’s
lifelong efforts to assist artists of color and
female artists in achieving the recognition they
deserve. The event also celebrated her gallery’s

and her excitement builds as she shares what she
has in store for this year’s Art Miami. In the past,
she has featured a variety of nature themes. “I try
to create an atmosphere in my booths, like in my
gallery. I firmly believe that coming to a gallery
should be a religious experience.” The theme
this year will be “Give Them the Bird?” — a
tongue-in-cheek theme that will promote her
undying love for nature and animals. Her booth
will undoubtedly be filled with birds like the ones

Diana Lowenstein Gallery

The Diana Lowenstein Gallery, a fixture in Wynwood Diana Lowenstein
Arts District since 2006, has been exhibiting with Art Miami
since its inception. As an active gallery owner and director,
Diana Lowenstein has been a force in the international art
scene as a passionate promoter of Argentine art. For over
twenty years, her gallery has participated in high-caliber fairs
including FIAC in Paris, ARCO in Madrid, Art Basel, Art
Chicago, and Art Miami. “My association with Art Miami
started from their first edition in 1991 with my gallery, then
located in Buenos Aires. In the long period of 27 years, the
fair experience has been back and forth. But since the new
administration took over, Art Miami placed itself among
one of the best art fairs.” While her gallery has exhibited
in other Miami fairs, she has returned to Art Miami. “After
participating in Art Basel Miami and Pulse, I realized that my
gallery needed to support the Miami Art Fair.”

Contemporary art has always been Diana Lowenstein’s
focus in her shows, and her taste is reflected in her gallery
with an eclectic mix of paintings, sculptures, photography,
and installations. Art Miami features a unique opportunity
for her artists. “Art Miami offers, at that time of the year, a
different alternative in comparison to the rest of the fairs and

Miami rate among other fairs in this artist’s opinion? "I would

a more South American/Caribbean feel. I am showing this
year at EXPO Chicago. I always love to see what’s being made
in the windy city. I also love visiting Frieze New York Fair.”

Exhibiting in fairs like Art Miami really validates up-and-
coming artists like Michael Loveland. Because of the attention
of fairs like Art Miami, Loveland’s work is now placed in
museums. “I recently had my works placed in a couple major
art museums' permanent collections. I got to sit in front of
my work hanging in the Brooklyn Art Museum last year and
watch other people take photos. It really made me feel that
what I do truly means something and will be around for a long
time.” When asked to be interviewed for Trillionaire Magazine,
the artist responded, “I would love to have a trillion dollars.
How many zeros is that?”

Michael Loveland, a Miami-based artist who graduated Michael

exhibitions and art fairs in the U.S. and abroad. As one of
Diana Lowenstein’s artists, he feels fortunate to be among
those chosen to be exhibited in Art Miami.” I think it’s
very helpful to show in a fair like Art Miami, if you’re lucky
enough to be chosen. I have been a lucky one over the years.”
Michael lived and studied in New York for seven years, but

“Art Miami is a broad-stroke survey of what is going on
around the world in art. As with most art fairs, sales are
front and center for most galleries, but that does not mean
everything shown is strictly commercial in quality.

The galleries’ exhibitions stretch from editions to unique
works — from painting and photography, to textile and
generative digital art. It is an eye-opener for art professionals,
as well as the general public. The "fair" aspect of the venue
makes it a very casual and entertaining experience.

Being housed beneath two giant city blocks in air-
conditioned tents, it’s certainly not your typical, white-walled
gallery experience.”

With over 100 galleries exhibiting, fairs like Art Miami are
often overwhelming to artists and to viewers. “Larger fairs
like Art Miami's are more broad and varied in what is being
shown — kind of like a supermarket versus a fruit stand,”
says Abbott. “Art Miami galleries more often show several
artists in their booths at once. And while this does add to the
excitement and energy of the fair, it can leave some visitors
needing to sit for a while and discuss the experience a bit.”
While fairs like Art Miami attract collectors and art lovers
from all over the world, Abbott believes there’s more to Miami
than Art Week. “Miami has a lot to offer artists in terms
of culture and inspiration. I am not talking about big-city
museum culture; I am talking about street-city culture. While
Miami has several museums, the heart of Miami's culture
lives inside its neighborhoods and its people, with its diverse
mix of residents and the amazing neighborhoods they have

The sense of being surrounded by nature is the ultimate luxury of all. From the swaying of palm

the hand-laid, stone walkways from point “a” to point “b.”
While the common areas are not air-conditioned, the fresh
ocean breeze serves as a reminder that your vacation has
indeed begun, and it’s time to trade in the hustle for the
hammock. At this point, all anxieties are whisked away by
the warm Caribbean air swirling through the lobby, as the
whicker lanterns sway from the rustic wood dome overhead.

resort is reinforced by the presence of nature in detail after

to the touches of Mayan culture in the serenity spa.

When it came time for lunch, we ventured down to
