  • Miami Dade College and the Engaging Power of the Arts Eduardo J
    © Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, Volume 17, Number 3, p. 69, (2013) Copyright © 2013 by the University of Georgia. All rights reserved. ISSN 1534-6104 Miami Dade College and the Engaging Power of the Arts Eduardo J. Padrón Abstract In this essay, the president of Miami Dade College describes the anchoring role that the institution plays in the Miami met- ropolitan region, with a particular emphasis on the many arts and cultural contributions. These efforts, combined with the economic and workforce development endeavors, make Miami Dade College a model anchor institution. he Cuban revolution unfolded throughout the 1950s, cul- minating on January 1, 1959, when Fidel Castro’s forces rolled into Havana and took control of the island nation. TIn the 2 years that followed, more than 200,000 Cubans landed in Miami, beginning a dramatic demographic change for South Florida (United States Census Bureau, 2012). In the ensuing years, additional waves of Cuban, Haitian, and other immigrants from Central and South America forever changed the landscape of South Florida. Another event occurred in 1959, in Miami, that would prove essential in providing a pathway to economic and social integra- tion for this enormous influx of new residents. The State of Florida gave formal approval to launch a new junior college in Miami. Classes opened in 1960 with 1,428 students. By 1967, Dade Junior College had become the largest institution of higher education in the state of Florida, enrolling more than 23,000 students. It was also the fastest growing junior college in the nation. It enrolled more freshmen than the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of South Florida combined.

  • Florida Bibliography
    A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN MIAMI AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA Originally compiled by Malinda Cleary, Richard Longstreth, and Aristides J. Millas Edited by Richard Longstreth 1999, revised 31 December 2017 This bibliography focuses on historical accounts written during the past three decades. Owing to the extent material, and the nature of much of its contents, I have made no attempt to separate popular from scholarly accounts or general histories from those that are devoted to the built environment. The basic divisions are geographical, followed by one on architects and landscape architects in the region. My gratitude goes to Melinda Cleary and Aristides Millas for compiling the core of these listings.

Ali 1 and Kheir Al-Kodmany 2,* 1 School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Urban Planning and Policy Department, College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612, USA * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]. Received: 26 July 2012; in revised form: 5 September 2012 / Accepted: 10 September 2012 / Published: 28 September 2012 Abstract: The tall building is the most dominating symbol of the cities and a human-made marvel that defies gravity by reaching to the clouds. It embodies unrelenting human aspirations to build even higher. It conjures a number of valid questions in our minds. The foremost and fundamental question that is often asked: Why tall buildings? This review paper seeks to answer the question by laying out arguments against and for tall buildings. Then, it provides a brief account of the historic and recent developments of tall buildings including their status during the current economic recession. The paper argues that as cities continue to expand horizontally, to safeguard against their reaching an eventual breaking point, the tall building as a building type is a possible solution by way of conquering vertical space through agglomeration and densification. Case studies of some recently built tall buildings are discussed to illustrate the nature of tall building development in their respective cities.

  • Downtown Miami Downtown Miami, Florida Is an Area That Is Approximately 4 Square Miles
    Downtown Miami Downtown Miami, Florida is an area that is approximately 4 square miles. It dates to the 19th century and is South Florida’s cultural, financial and commercial center in Miami‐Dade County. This part of the city is a fascinating and cosmopolitan place with not only things to do, but sights to see and a wide variety of food to eat. The Miami Downtown Development Authority defines downtown Miami as “east of I95 between the Rickenbacker Causeway to the south and the Julia Tuttle Causeway to the north.” Approximately 90,000 people live in this area and growing. This photo program shares snapshots of downtown Miami since 2010. It includes the Port of Miami, the South Miami‐Dade Cultural Arts Center, Bayside, Art in Public Places, homes of celebrities and foods enjoyed in the area. Miami‐Dade County Courthouse “It's difficult to imagine the Magic City before the dozens of skyscrapers that dot the skyline. In 1904, the Miami‐Dade County Courthouse was the tallest structure in the county — as well as the tallest building south of Baltimore. Two decades later, in 1925, a new building was erected in the same location to accommodate Miami's growing population. The 27‐story structure was designed by Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, who designed many courthouses throughout the South. The tower also housed the city's jail until it closed in 1961. Today the building is still used as the main civil courthouse for the county.” <miamitimes.com> Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College “Constructed in 1925 as a home for The Miami News, the Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College was modeled after the Giralda Cathedral Bell Tower in Seville, Spain.
