Design Miami
Design Miami (formerly design.05 Miami) took place from December 1-5, 2005 in the historic Moore Building in the Miami Design District, exhibiting fifteen of the world's most significant galleries dealing in post-war to contemporary museum quality furniture and decorative arts.

As the inaugural recipient of the Design Miami's Designer of the Year award, Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Zaha Hadid created a 4-story site-specific installation in the central atrium of the building. Her installation was a visual example of her groundbreaking work, which constantly pushes the boundaries between architecture and urban design.

Never before had there been such a major design event staged simultaneously with such an important art fair as Art Basel Miami Beach. This intense concentration of art and design stimulated both collaborative relationships and dialogue making five of the most culturally exciting days in the Americas.

Design Miami endeavors to encourage the current discourse over the ever-blurring boundaries between art, architecture, and design through a highly selective multi-disciplinary design event. To further encourage this, Design Miami hosted a dynamic program of conversations with curators, designers, and architects as well as a series of special exhibitions throughout the Miami Design District. |
