Chana on Stage

The Miami Downtown Development Authority is going foward with their plans to revamp the city with the concert series being held at bayfront the second Saturday of every month, I went last month and must say that i really enjoyed it, I took some pics of the show. Check the MDDA's Website for more info in the upcoming concert on March 13th.

Trapped between buildings

2009-03-11T14:34:00.001-04:00

The Dominican Embassy in Miami, FL an oddity in the urban space of Brickell Avenue where all the surrounding buildings are high-rises. I know for a fact that developers have tried to but this site from the Dominican Goverment but they don't want to sell.

the new one is playing it fake

2009-03-10T13:25:00.000-04:00

When I thought I have heard everything regarding weird layoffs and tricks of the trade to get work i got accross with this article where a not named Tribeca (NYC) Architectural firm had laid off all of their employees and in order to try to get new clients to sign a contract have hired people to act as if they where architects, the actors where paid 100$ to do this acting gig.

Here are some abstractions reminiscent of a kaleidoscope of a Japanese city / buildings created by architect and photographer Kazuhiko Kawahara. I am compelled by this type of imagery which they are not real in our minds but that is how the artist sees it.

2009-01-21T11:10:00.002-05:00

I got the experience on walking thru downtown on Sunday and found a couple of really interesting things like this custom frame shop, there are so many things that get lost when only driving around.

Miami Metro Zoo

For all the Miami suburbanites visit the Miami Metro Zoo its nice to walk out in the wild taking advantage of the nice temperature, remember not everything is going out to the mall.
I went last Saturday had a very pleasant time and took some pictures.

shelter

2009-01-19T00:35:00.002-05:00

"Homeless Chateau"

The idea behind this "chateau" is a prefab one person self-contained living module that is to be held inside a building where it can be connected to utilities, When I came across with this art piece by James WestWater it brought me back to my first year in architecture school and one of the last projects of that semester when our teacher instructed us to build a small shelter for a hurricane. I was still in my first year of school and I really didn't understand the idea of building something real at the time (the first years is when your imagination grows wild in architecture).
