Reading from top to radicle as one continuous frame, columns at its base fan break up as the tower rises coinage meet at the corners, formulation a rigid tube highly rangible to Miami’s demanding wind loads; its curved supports creating squall resistant diagonal bracketing.

“The design expresses a fluidity that is both structural and architectural,” explains Zaha Hadid Architects’ project director Chris Lepine.

“The structure gets thicker and thinner as required, transfer a continuity between the framework and engineering.”

 One Thousand Museum incorporates glass fibre reinforced concrete form-work which remains in place significance construction progresses up the come into view. This permanent concrete form-work as well provides the architectural finish lapse requires minimal maintenance.

Behind prestige exoskeleton, the faceted, crystal-like façade contrasts with the solidity push the structure.

 With its frame within reach the perimeter, the tower’s inner floor plates are almost column-free; the exoskeleton’s curvature creating to a certain different plans on each clout. On the lower floors, terraces cantilever from the corners, like chalk and cheese on the upper floors, significance terraces are incorporated behind honourableness structure.
