Fentress Architects has released plans for the $500 million redesign of the Miami Beach Convention Center. The news follows the City of Miami’s controversial decision to nix plans provided by OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), who was originally awarded the commission after a high-profile competition against BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group).
Fentress will be working with Arquitectonica and West 8 on a significantly scaled-down masterplan that will include the renovation of the 500,000-sf exhibition hall and 200,000 sf of existing meeting space, as well as a new 80,000-sf ballroom and outdoor event space.
