| for this competition the project in question, located at the end of fifth avenue leading to south beach, in the miami beach area, is a 'pier-museum' which, pointing out to sea, will stand as a 'horizontal monument' to all the immigrants [particularly the cuban immigrants] who have arrived on these shores in search of a better future. to this end, this 100 meter long structure will point out to sea off miami beach and will house a museum in which the personal effects, souvenirs and photos belonging to the new generation of immigrants will be exhibited – those who came to the city of miami from the 1950s to the 1980s in search of their own personal american dream. to this end, this 'pier-museum' will not only function as an architectural landmark, but will also serve as a space commemorating the new urban dynamic of the city, the global multiculturalism which defines the beginning of the 21st century. the museum will possess a basic lay-out that will occupy an area of approximately 2,000 m2 and include the following spaces: entrance hall, temporary exhibition room, permanent exhibition room, storage facilities, restrooms, maintenance facility, security, offices and cafeteria. the 'pier-museum' should be a readily identifiable object, able to impose its presence within the existing urban profile and landscape of the beach area. however, competitors may choose to present proposals of a totally experimental nature which incorporate ideas as diametrically opposed as the subordination of the architecture in the context of the urban profile and landscape and the creation of a new model which might serve to redefine the idea of a “monument” in the context of the architectural debate regarding the paradisiacal and the cosmopolitan. competition web site : http://www.arquitectum.com/index.php email competition : [email protected] |
