All I have to say is wow! This a step in the right direction…It may be a slight knock off the CCTV building in Asia but this building would add an incredible dynamic to Miami’s Skyline…Its also a Chad Oppenheim Design…

whoa, what’s going on here? Miami will finally have some world class architecture. I guess I’m out of the loop, but what’s the story behind this?
Bah! to you, Gabriel J. Lopez-Bernal! — if you want to keep posting this stuff, you’d better start providing some source links (you didn’t get this straight from the developers), and make some higher resolution images available.
like wow.
Are these just conceptual renderings and studies?
Considering I’m the person who posted them in the first place on that other forum, all I know is that I ran across them on an architect’s webpage and that cooincidently I read an article a couple of months back saying the MDC was looking to sell the air rights to build over their parcel on Biscayne Blvd south of the Freedom Tower if the builder included classroom space, libraries, and other space for the school in the project.
I love the ground level design with the grassy area and all the retail.
Thanks Dave…
I was going to write an article now citing that article that appeared in the MiamiTodayNews…
Actually its an “art center” for the college that would have to be included:
Here is the article:
http://www.miamitodaynews.com/news/070111/fyi.shtml
“In exchange for land-lease and air rights on a 2.5-acre parcel at 520 Biscayne Blvd., the school wants a developer to pay for construction of the arts center and a privately owned income-producing property”
Thanks again…
if that comes to pass they are going to need a lot of curtains in that building!
I call this building Pants on Biscayne, everyone I showed agrees it looks like pants, my brother said it looks like it’s going to walk away. I like it, I think this may be built strangely and may not meet hurricane building codes. Can you imagine uplift gusts of wind? Cool design though.
So worthy. Too bad it isn’t taller. That’s a large plot of land and we only have so much space left downtown for a building tall enought that it will put Miami on the map forever.
