This area of Atlanta is known as the Arts District. The site sits in the center of this district and is surrounded by culture, residential, office space, and parking garages.

In addition to containing buildings dedicated to The Arts, many others include artistic architectural elements.

PROJECT: DESIGNING AN ECO-HUB ON A GIVEN SITE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. DESIGN 6.1 REVIT AND ENSCAPE

The main problem of this site was a disconnection from the community. The analysis showed that pedestrian traffic around this site was low. It was an isolated lot with causeways on the north and south, and parking on the west. The elevated causeway on the south cut off the site with no access above or below.

This new project was designed to create a central hub for the community. Connection to the rest of the city was the main goal. This was addressed by designing new metro and water taxi stations, a connection to the Perez Museum underneath the causeway, and a pedestrian zone under the Metromover track.

To counter the flooding and rising water level of Miami, the first level of the building was raised 20’ above ground. The site was designed to gradually rise to this level.

The building and site was designed to reflect its environmental program. In addition to the exterior, the interior atrium is filled with greenery. The atrium is open at the top, and the walls that surround the interior spaces inside are sliding glass in order to open the building to the natural environment.
