Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Raimundo Onetto: "We have 36 different countries buying in one project, but what is changing is that we are seeing buyers from New York, Chicago, and Boston that are moving to this nice weather and city... In the past 10 years, it has been pretty amazing, what the city has done with lobbies and garages. I think that's an amazing opportunity to bring art to real estate. They are being pushed up through the design boards but I think it's not enough. I think we need to push it even more. Every project has the budget to bring something different and not just paint to hide the parking garages. We need to keep doing that with each project.

Jessica Goldman Srebnick: "Collaboration is really important. We are real estate developers but also advocates for art and artists and culture. It's important for developers to look at the marriage of art and architecture in different ways and support it. I come from parents that always embraced art. They were collectors and supporters; they walk the walk. It wasn't about just buying the art, but finding projects for artists so we could help elevate their platform. Artists are courageous. They have a way of amplifying what's happening during all kinds of times. They question everything and allow people to have deeper conversations on all topics. Art can change an environment, a project, and bring people to a community that wouldn't have [otherwise]."

Gary Nader: "When I told my father that it was moving to Miami, he said, 'Why Miami? With your experience, you can open in New York, LA or Paris.' I said that Miami was the future. I wanted to grow with the city, and I saw Miami was going to become one of the most important cities in the world; we are seeing that now. A huge part of that is the art community. Any building can be beautiful, but the only difference is the art that you put in front or inside of it... Miami is growing and getting more involved in the arts. When there are galleries that have 15, 20 venues in the world but not one in Miami, you realize Miami is a young city. These other cities are hundreds and thousands of years old. There is a lot to do in Miami with art, and that's exciting."

Ombretta Agro’: "One of the key aspects that is unique to Miami is that most of the known collectors are also real estate developers. This has allowed the city to merge these two forms and create neighborhoods and buildings where the art is completely interwoven into them. Art brings an element that goes beyond beautiful architecture, finishes and design because it connects people and potential buyers at a visceral and emotional level. Developers understood that art was setting a building apart and enticing clients to look at properties with a different set of eyes. We have seen lots of examples how this partnership can be successful."

Troy Simmons: "Miami offers so much. It's such a melting pot of cultures which leads to so many different artists coming with different ideas from different backgrounds, and things that they're going through, and experiences they've had. For the developers to think in that line, to move in that direction, is something that thrills me... Moving to these types of projects, it's a key point for the artist to be there during schematic design phases. It gives the artist and developer the opportunities to learn about each other and to really understand the direction in which the project is moving in, and the direction in which the artist's work can flow seamlessly into that."

Paolo Pininfarina, whose grandfather opened the luxury design firm, was present during Miami Art Week 2019 to unveil the presentation.

"Oasis" explores the concept of mindfulness through a global lens, providing an immersive experience that allows the viewer to engage with all senses. It was created as a partnership with Florida-based sustainable luxury furniture leader Sklar Furnishings, and the landscape architecture practice, LAND.

“Architecture and design are far more than a mere collection of aesthetic elements—the built environment can influence the behavior of people in a powerful way,” says Paolo Trevisan, Pininfarina’s Head of Design and Architecture.

The plan for the exhibition is anchored in a single, interactive pathway, intended to represent the journey to self-realization and groundedness. Designed to detach each visitor from the technology-driven world and reconnect the body to a sense of self, the pathway will lead to a secluded, calming oasis hidden within the installation. Participants will find this pathway at the end of a narrow tunnel, perfectly balanced by a lush, central tree of life. Above, a cascading garden will provide a sense of security, slowing visitors’ racing minds and allowing them to find peace and healing in nature. The biophilia for the exhibit will be curated by LAND. Designed with the purpose of wellbeing; whether used for medicinal or fragrant purposes, each of the plants will be selected for how it benefits the human body. Capitalizing on sweeping city views, which are framed by a custom-built bar at the window, visitors will discover the oasis within––invited to unwind and explore their taste buds over a cup of herbal tea.

Driven by the philosophy that good design can support good health, Pininfarina is incorporating the five senses—sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound—into the design of the exhibition to create moments of healing and tranquility for the mind, body, and spirit. For sight, written affirmations and strategically-placed lighting will facilitate visitor relaxation; for sound, calming music that corresponds to mood lighting will define the energy of the journey, encouraging visitors to release the tensions of modern life; for smell, natural biophilic aromas will enhance one’s connection to the natural world; for taste, calming tea will be available for those who enjoy the ritual; and for touch, peaceful, grounding materials and textures will exude serenity and offer comfort.

PARAMOUNT, the world’s most-equipped residential tower, known for its innovative flying car Skyport, will host the exhibit entitled: “Miami 2020 and Beyond” featuring the PAL-V (Personal Air Landing Vehicle) Pioneer flying car and an impressive contemporary art collection including “Red World” by renowned artist Steven Manolis, and “Miami Vice” and “Moons Over Miami” by Miami’s hometown museum-class graffiti artist Ahol Sniffs Glue (also known as David Anasagasti). Ahol Sniffs Glue's works in the development, featuring his trademark's "eyes" in spray paints blend seamlessly with PARAMOUNT's lobby and urban design.

The Dutch-made PAL-V Pioneer – already in production and selling for $599,000 with 70 flying cars already sold – comes with retractable overhead and rear propellers and tail wings, and can cruise at an altitude as high as 12,500 feet. Using automobile gasoline instead of jet fuel, it reaches speeds of 200 miles per hour in the air and 100 miles per hour on the ground.

PARAMOUNT's 58^th floor Skydeck is designed so it can be modified in the future as a Skyport with a hydraulic floor capable of transforming its rooftop pool into a take-off and landing pad for flying cars.

Previous locations that have held exhibitions of the Colombian artist's outdoor sculptures include the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Yebisu Garden in Tokyo, Lustgarten in Berlin and Park Avenue in New York City.

On his own sculptures, Botero once said, "I never give particular traits to my figures. I don’t want them to have personality, but rather represent a type that I create. My sculptures do not carry any messages, social or otherwise. What matters for me is the form, the voluptuous surfaces, which emphasize the sensuality of my work. I like the enormous size; it is the fulfillment of my longing for voluptuous round forms.”
