Alan Faena worked closely with OMA, the firm founded by Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu, partner at OMA and Director of the New York office, who served as the lead architect to ensure the 43,000 square-foot Forum is designed for ultimate flexibility. The space accommodates everything from a temporary culinary pop up to an acoustically optimal concert. Two volumes, a cylinder and a cube that are similar in size, can be combined or subdivided to support any type of production, from projects and commissions to performances, exhibitions and events.
The building has two main levels. The lobby amphitheater features pink marble floors and technical capabilities for surround projections. The upper floor assembly hall features a 40-foot-high dome with a central glazed oculus and a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking Indian Creek. A walkway that spirals up the interior wall of the Forum from street level to the top of the dome which provides visitors with a range of perspectives on the space. Faena Forum was deisgned for ultimate flexibility and can accommodate up to 1000. Faena Forum’s flexible space and contemporary design makes it the ideal destination for any business event or social engagement, from elegant seated dinners and festive cocktail gatherings, to corporate meetings and destination weddings.
Faena district stretches from north 32nd Street to 36th Street, and the neighborhood is comprised of Faena Hotel Miami Beach, Casa Faena, Faena Forum, Faena Bazaar, Faena Park, The Residences at Faena Hotel Miami Beach and Faena House. By integrating art, architecture, nature and technology, Faena District has changed the physical and cultural landscape of Miami Beach forever. Faena remains committed to bringing new and exciting experiences to the destinations in order to spark conversation, bring the community together and enhance the way people live.
