Donation:
Dear City of Miami Beach
My name is Jesus Pacheco, Landscape and interior designer specialized in creating
spaces to heal. I am also a resident of Miami and responsible for coordinating the
donation of three sculptures, five benches and one big marble bar.
These pieces were designed by the renowned Italian studio Pininfarina, in collaboration
with Cosentino for CASACOR MIAMI 2018, which took place at 700 Brickell Ave, in
partnership with Swire Properties and the Brickell City Center.
In this exhibition I was the winner of one of the awards for designing two projects that
involved interior and outdoor conceptual design aimed at educating and raising
awareness about coral bleaching and the importance of using native vegetation in
gardens and public spaces in Miami.
On this occasion we decided to have Silvia Parra act as a mediator in the donation
process because she recently received the Outstanding Art Award at Miami Beach
Hispanic Week, precisely because of her work that seeks to bring peace and
awareness to through her art.
I also take this opportunity to offer my ad honoren landscape design services to project
the external area where the sculptures and pieces offered could be located in
collaboration with the artist Silvia Parra.
The situation with these pieces is that the building where they are located must be
demolished in the coming weeks and Paolo Pininfarina (the designer) and Lucio
Grimaldi (CEO of CASACOR MIAMI and my business parter), would like their works to
be donated and used by as many people as possible.
That is why we consider the City of Miami Beach, because we know of its commitment
to the development of a more beautiful city, full of quality art and well-designed
spaces.
Attached are the photos and characteristics of the pieces offered.
I await your kind response.
