919 Tower

Students: Mario Ortiz, Tomas Suarez

Professor: Jordan Trachtenberg

The combined concept for this project is based on the study of available undeveloped residual sites that may be desirable for development of landscaped out coves for public enjoyment. Additionally, the project also takes into consideration the concept of the multi tiered transportation layer system of the Miami/Overtown area. New sustainable vehicles can be used for both the new trail that accesses all of the sustainable energy educational and public access sites as well as provings an economically feasible and more acceptable carbon emissions saving method of transportation. Our new site will incorporate a station for each of the transportation systems that have either aerial or ground access to include the future Omni Rail extension that will link both aerial systems under one roof for ease of transition between the rail systems. The retail shops will also provide gear for cyclists to rent solar powered cycles for use in the area as well as a park that will house skaters and borders alike in the are for outdoor enjoyment while respecting public access space.
