1111 Lincoln Road PAM. Artful Living. NWS & Park. Moris Moreno for the NYT UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ARC 122: Architecture Theory II SPRING 2016 Professor Frank Martinez Final Assignment: Experiencing, Thinking and Reflecting on Excellence in Architecture ASSIGNMENT Select one (1) building from the list below of three (3) recent, locally built projects and write a short Paper centering on why the work of Architecture supports and demonstrates notions on the relationship between human needs, behavior, cultural diversity, social equity, and professional judgment and responsibility in design. Your criticism shall include an analysis of the building’s context and relationship with public and private spaces. You shall support your analysis by using the selected and listed Ethical Canons and Standards. Only use those applicable and deemed appropriate to your building. These canons and standards will serve, as a conceptual framework, to construct a convincing claim. The paper should be between 650 – 750 words (double spaced using Times New Roman font) and follow the MLA format outlined below. Choose and analyze the building first as it relates to your observed correspondence with some of the ethics criteria described herein, class lectures topics and referential readings reserved at the library. It is important to formulate an objective appraisal and to demonstrate how the design resulted in a critical, responsible and accomplished work, which contributes to the building of place and for the good of the client, society, and the public. A brief description of each building is included. These are very different building projects ranging from private development to civic institution. Please familiarize yourself with the 3 buildings and select one that both interests and inspires you to investigate further. Thoughtfully integrate values from the Ethical Canons and Standards as applied in the design. A site visit is required to experience the architecture and to establish the principles to classify, compare, summarize, explain and/or interpret in your assessment of the building. Document your observations in the form of notes, photographs and sketches. You may also want to use found documentation drawings of the building along with your own sketches and photographs as illustrations to support your analysis.
BUILDINGS: *referenced books on reserve (available at the front desk of SoA library) 1111 LINCOLN ROAD Architects Herzog & de Meuron Location 11 11 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL, USA Area 300 parking spaces + sq. ft. Project Year 2010 When local developer Robert Wennett bought the adjacent 1968 Brutalist office building and reimagined what could be done on its surface parking lot, 11 11 Lincoln Rd became much more than just another parking garage. After interviewing many internationally recognized architects, the local developer selected Herzog & de Meuron to lead the design of the $65MM unique shopping, dining, residential and parking experience. As Miami’s premier urban lifestyle destination, 11 11 features a curated collection of international retailers and fine fare hotspots at its base1. The 7th floor of this open air structure is often rented for corporate and private events; the “garage” has become a destination for architects, photographers and tourists to visit.
PEREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI Architects Herzog & de Meuron Location Pérez Art Museum Miami, 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33130, USA Area 119,750 sq. ft. Project Year 2013 Link http://www.pamm.org/about/building
Forming part of the redeveloping downtown waterfront on Biscayne Bay , the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is located in Museum Park. It was formerly located in Downtown and known as the Miami Art Museum until 2013 when, under the leadership of director Terence Riley, plans were made by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and the museum was relocated. To achieve this, the MAM entered into a public-‐private partnership (PPP) with the City of Miami and Miami-‐Dade County. The City provided the land, the County voters provided $100MM through bonds, and another $120MM were raised from private donors. The museum was controversially renamed after a generous gift from The Related Group’s developer Mr. Jorge Perez. Its direct neighbors are the 20 acre Museum Park, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science (under construction) and a major freeway, connecting mainland Miami with Miami Beach. Simultaneously oriented towards the park, the water and the city, the new PAMM is an open and inviting structure from all sides alike.2

NEW WORLD CENTER + PARK
Frank Gehry 500 17th Street, Miami Beach, FL, USA 756
Architect Location Capacity Project Year 2011
Located a block north of Lincoln Rd., the new home of the New World Symphony also features a 2.5 acre public park designed by West 8. On this park, a SoundScape area allows people to experience, live and free, many of the events happening inside the concert hall through the use of audio-‐visual technology on a 7,000 sq. ft. projection wall. The building itself is a unique post-‐ graduate orchestral academy, a musical laboratory for generating new ideas about the way music is taught, experienced and presented.3 The 100,641 sq. ft. building cost approximately $160MM. Of that, $25MM came from Miami Dade County, $15MM from the City of Miami Beach, and the rest from private donations and the sale of the New World Symphony’s previous home, the Lincoln Theater (which now features the H&M store).
