In 2010, construction began on the Pérez Art Museum in downtown Miami’s Museum Park. The museum was previously named the Miami Art Museum, but received a name change when the new building was established. The building was designed by Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron. I enjoy the architecture of this building because it is both modern and comforting.

The large wood beams create shade for visitors who are outside but also provide warmth to the cold, simplistic feeling of the modern architecture. I also enjoyed the plants hanging from the wood beams as it gives a jungly feeling to the museum.
