From Oppenheim Architects comes the ‘stacked kleenex boxes’ better known as the art vault -
A psychedelic swirl of flowers and colours that may remind the older generation of their acid tripping days -
Oppenheim Architecture + Design have unveiled plans to build an art storage facility in Miami, USA.
The facade of the 11-story, 140,000 square foot building will display artwork by emerging and established artists.
Designed for art services company Artemundi & Company and referred to as The Vault, the development will include a conservation laboratory, showrooms and exhibition spaces.
Construction is due for completion in 2010.

I usually hate anything modern…and this is no exception. The way the building stands out amongst the trees that it is set in just make it look like the horrible concrete buildings that the world was so fond of in the past. It’s shape doesn’t bring to mind a modern, exciting or bold building. It brings to mind images of Milton-keynes and it’s 70′s concrete ugliness. This is completely ignoring the fact that it is covered in garish colors and quite hideous in it’s inability to blend in or even compliment anything around it.
No tim-tams from me.
