Biomuseo
Biomuseo (also known as The Biodiversity Museum: Panama Bridge of Life) is located on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, Panama. It was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. This is Gehry's first design for Latin America.
The design was conceived in 1999 and the museum opened in October 2014.〔(New York Times article on opening )〕 In 2004 it was announced that Gehry, whose wife is Panamanian, would donate his design to the people of Panama.
==Construction ==
Construction began in late 2004 with a 60 million dollar budget and was scheduled to end in 2011. Setbacks pushed the completion date mid-2012. Construction funding comes from over 100 local who all day in conjunction with the Panamanian government were able to raise the funds to finish the project. The site was at the end of the Causeway facing the Pacific Ocean at the entrance of the Panama Canal. This provides ocean panoramic views of the ocean and cargo ships entering the canal. Construction required new techniques due to the radical shapes, angles and materials needed, none of which had ever been employed in Panama, according to structural engineer Antonio Amado Díaz. The building silhouette is the usual unusual Gehry design, however unlike most of his designs, each panel is painted a different bright colour. The reason for the bright colors were said to express its tropical location. The museum finally opened in October 2014.
