Running late seems to be my new norm, but, I was busy changing a flat tire (not mine.)
Alesh seems to have beat me to my own story, presenting the latest plans to revamp the currently hideous and very much abandoned Bicentennial Park (What it originally looked like.) Miami planners have come up with a set of beautiful renderings of a park that will look nothing like what will actually be built. They also apparently have been looking at other successful parks around the world, to try to incorporate some of their elements (Like Grass, trees, and People.) I like the fact that the USS Tin Can won’t be docked there any more, however, I fear that Arriola may be seeking to acquire a monstrosity like NYC’s Intrepid. Lets shoot for something in between.
The Museum renderings themselves have yet to be developed (or funded, Whoops!) Call me crazy, but I would love to see a Neo-Classical Museum of Science Building. With big, beautiful columns and a design that is totally unlike Miami. Something like the Prado. The MAM, I fear will be ultra modern (Hopefully not Gehry, though I appreciate his style) but should do something to enhance the view of the PAC from the waterfront.
I like the renderings all in all. It appears to maximize the most of the area without over or under developing the site. The Museum placement is ideal, it should have easy access to the metromover stop and the buildings themselves will serve as barriers to the unsightly I-395. Open space abounds as well as recreational space in front of the AAA. Now, the real question is, Can we make it happen???
