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.

    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

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).
