Typoe Sculpture Garden transforms a section of the 10-mile linear park into a vibrant and surreal gathering area. Typoe’s large scale sculptural icons are inspired by children’s building blocks. The works reference the history of blocks as groundbreaking educational tools that foster and challenge the creativity in all of us. These shapes resonate both with children and adults encouraging joy, play and creativity. The artist has created many of his own shapes referencing art history, fashion, nature, connectivity, and the after life. Two constant themes throughout the blocks are balance, and how we build the world around us. If we had no limits, what kind of world would we create?

“This park is my love letter to Miami. It is something I hope the entire community can come to enjoy and experience together. My dream has always been to design parks and public spaces, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to make my dream into reality with The Underline and Airbnb” said Typoe. “As I grew up here, I have always been highly influenced by the Art Deco movement, and it’s a tradition that I wanted to keep in the city, but in a fresh modern way.”
