Art for every
surface of the
built world.
Monumental Art Projects designs, delivers and warrants permanent art for the surfaces that fall outside the design budget. Walls, sculpture, building systems and roofs, delivered with the architect of record under one contract.
One studio for the surfaces nobody budgeted for.
Monumental Art Projects is a single contracting entity with four practices underneath it. We hold the client relationship, the design collaboration with the architect of record, and the delivery, warranty and maintenance obligations for every one of them.
An owner can start with one surface and add the next without running a new procurement. You contract once, and the capability grows without you requalifying a vendor.
Murals
Walls, streets and open land turned into portraits of the people who live there, sometimes so large they can be photographed by satellites. Painted to last, or drawn in charcoal to fade cleanly.
Sculpture
A human gesture or a single face made monumental, so it records a collective moment rather than an individual ego. Bronze, stone and steel, engineered for South Florida.
Cool Roof Art
Certified reflective systems with the rooftop treated as a designed surface. The art lowers surface temperature and extends membrane life, so it carries an engineering case alongside the aesthetic one, backed by a 20-year warranty.
Louver systems
Shade, ventilation and screening with a large-scale image built into the fins. Head-on, a working facade. From the right angle or distance, a monumental portrait resolves across the whole surface.
Jorge
Rodríguez-Gerada
A Cuban-American artist known for monumental, site-specific work, from the National Mall with the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery to Belfast and Barcelona. He leads the artistic direction of every Monumental Art commission, across all four solutions.
Most recently awarded the Miami Incorporators Monument at Bayfront Park for the City of Miami.
It started on the roof.
Our first practice, Cool Roof Art, began with one observation about the fifth facade. Once we solved for the roof, architects and developers kept asking us to solve the other surfaces that fall outside the design budget.
So we built Monumental Art Projects: one studio, one contract and one warranty for every surface of a development. We sign as artist of record, never architect of record. The architect keeps the aesthetic; we carry delivery and warranty.
We work inside the architect of record's intent, from concept through the drawing set.
One contract, one design conversation, four possible line items.
Delivery, warranty and maintenance stay with one accountable entity.
