Museum Plaza! London, Dubai, Shanghai?

I see a lot of trade publications that feature architecture from cosmopolitan cities in Europe and Asia. Then there are the projects coming out of the ground in Dubai which are amazing to say the least. But I came across a project today in Louisville, Kentucky which peaked my interest. It’s called Museum Plaza and it is being developed by the Poe Companies.

Despire the turmoil in credit markets, construction has begun on this project which is slated for completion in 2010. When finished it will encompass 1.5 Million Square Feet and soar 62-stories. The architecture firm behind the project is REX (Ramus Ella Architects). The project will include a 1-acre “island” located 22-stories up which will be open to the public. Additionally the project will encompass 1,100 stall car park, 300-room hotel, and 160 luxury units and lofts, and an office tower.

Amazing! To learn more about the project you can visit the official project site at www.museumplaza.net. I’ve also embedded a project video from youtube below that is interesting.
