* Architecture: Museum of Ocean and Surf by Steven Holl Architects in collaboration with Solange Fabiao

Architecture: Museum of Ocean and Surf by Steven Holl Architects in collaboration with Solange Fabiao: “..The building form derives from the spatial concept “under the sky”/“under the sea”. A concave “under the sky” shape forms the character of the main exterior space, the “Place de l’Océan.” The convex structural ceiling forms the “under the sea” exhibition spaces. The building’s spatial qualities are experienced already at the entrance where the lobby and ramps give a broad aerial view of the exhibition areas, as they pass along the dynamic curved surface that is animated by moving image and light..”  Winner of the ArchDaily Building of the Year 2011, category Museum + Library Architecture..
