HOK, along with Beck Group, has designed a new museum to house the works of Salvador Dalí in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The architecture, greatly inspired by the great surrealist, “combines elements of the classical and the fantastical,”
according to the director of the museum. The design speaks to the essence of Dalí while incorporating functional
elements to combat Florida’s tough weather.

(The consensus, however, seems to be that the outside of the museum's building, is, to put it lightly, viewed with strong words of discontentment.)
