# Colorful Geometric Cultural Centers The Biomuseum by Frank Gehry is Oddly Angled and Brightly Hued By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomuseum-by-frank-gehry References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2012/11/frank-gehry-biomuseum-panama.html) & [biomuseopanama.org](http://www.biomuseopanama.org/) The Biomuseum by Frank Gehry will mark his first creation on Latin America ground. Embracing the culture's love of vibrant colors, the [cultural center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centre-des-cultures-et-spiritualits-ews) is multi-hued structure full of odd angles and geometric shapes. Adhering to his signature style, the Canadian-American Pritzker Prize-winning architect, who is based in Los Angeles, California, adds a playful addition to the city of Panama. Currently under construction, the Biomuseum by Frank Gehry is set to span 4000 square meters. This expansive building will be home to [eight permanent galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naoshima-new-museum-of-art), a public atrium, temporary exhibition spaces, a giftshop, cafeteria, exterior exhibits and a [botanical garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calder-gardens). It will allow visitors to explore local ocean and land species that originated in the Panamanian Isthmus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-hued Architecture:** Architectural designs that embrace vibrant colors and geometric shapes. - **Playful Cultural Centers:** Cultural centers that add a playful touch to conventional architecture. - **Environmental Exhibitions:** Exhibition spaces that allow visitors to explore local species and environmental concepts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Design:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in creating culturally sensitive and playful architectural designs. - **Museums and Galleries:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in designing exhibition spaces that are interactive and educational for visitors. - **Environmental Education:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in creating more engaging and informative ways to educate the public about environmental conservation and local species. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Cultural Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lucas-museum-of-narrative-arts.md) - [Architecturally Intricate Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-for-architecture.md) - [Cave-Like Discovery-Themed Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gilder-center.md) - [Fish Scale-Resembling Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/istanbul-modern.md) - [Cultural Green Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taichung-green.md) - [Textured Glass Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helsinki-design-and-architecture-museum.md) - [Pink Walled Cultural Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instituto-francs-de-estudios-andinos.md) - [Viewing Box Cultural Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-center-for-arts-innovation.md) - [Architectural Luxury Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-x-frank-gehry.md)
