This was a group project involving 4 architecture and 2 landscape architecture students. The “fear of being boring” was the opinion of one of our critics, a professor of architecture, referring to the massive and nonsensically shaped structures onsite.
The project takes place on the Miami River, where currently there stands an elderly community. Prime real estate with plenty of open space onsite, city officials are in cahoots over how to (re)utilize this space. This semester, 7 groups of us put together our proposals.
Initial onsite observations:
Main issues with the existing site were that it lacks any connectivity with the surrounding communities and in no way takes advantage of its excellent location on the riverfront.
