Typoe Creates a PoMo Sculpture Garden in Miami

The Spaces, an international architecture and design publication, covered TYPOE's new public art installation under Miami's Metrorail as part of The Underline, a ten mile long park and art destination beneath the city's raised railway track.

The article highlighted the installation's postmodern aesthetic, noting it "has shades of the much-loved Memphis Group." TYPOE collaborated with EstudioLAAVA on the sculpture garden, laying out glossy, brightly colored shapes to form archways, curved benches, and oversized cartoon flowers on a black and white striped floor, all watched over by a bright yellow, smiling orb.

While the forms feel very much in the vein of postmodernism, TYPOE noted the shapes are actually influenced by the Art Deco movement, which flourished in the city. He described the installation as a "love letter to Miami."
