Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach Announces Expansion Led by Johnston Marklee
The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach has selected the Los Angeles-based architecture firm Johnston Marklee to lead its forthcoming expansion. The project will involve the construction of a new pavilion on 22,000 square feet of space currently used for parking. This expansion builds on the 1995 concept by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Arata Isozaki and aims to increase public access to the museum's programs and artworks. The expansion will include an elevated gallery, an outdoor patio, and a stage area for outdoor screenings and events. The museum was awarded $20.1 million in city-issued funds for this project, which is part of a municipal bond authorized by local voters.
