Thesis Designing the Hyphen THESIS DESIGNING THE HYPHEN: LINKING IDENTITY AND ARCHITECTURE IN BACARDI’S FORMER MIAMI HEADQUARTERS Claudia Sans Werner Interior Design In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Art Corcoran College of Art and Design Washington, DC Spring 2013 Thesis Statement Observation Buildings do not stand still. They reflect the cultural, political and historical identity of the moment in which they were created – and both reflect and affect the moments that follow. Proposition/Argument Shifts in culture often produce a sense of dislocation, a questioning of identity. The resulting dichotomies (traditional-modern, local-international, public-private, preservation-innovation, past-present, art-architecture, etc.) offer the designer an opportunity to peer into the spaces in between and reveal both the connections and ruptures. Mutability defines the hyphen, a state that should be exposed, exploited and celebrated. Direction The former Bacardi headquarters in downtown Miami, Florida – an interstitial space in many ways – should be reconceptualized into a kinetic place where Cuban and Cuban-American artists work, art from the past and the present is exhibited, and the public interacts with them. In this way the campus will reflect the changes in Cuban- American identity since the buildings were erected for the Cuban spirits company shortly after the 1959 Cuban Revolution; it will continue and expand upon the cultural exchanges for which Miami is becoming known, and it will reintegrate an isolated office park into its current urban landscape. Abstract Designing the Hyphen: Linking identity and architecture in Bacardi’s former Miami headquarters Buildings do not stand still. They reflect and affect the cultural, political and historical identity of the moment in which they were created – and both reflect and affect the moments that follow. Shifts in culture often produce a sense of dislocation, a questioning of identity. The resulting dichotomies (traditional-modern, local-international, public-private, preservation-innovation, past-present, art-architecture, etc.) offer the designer an opportunity to peer into the spaces in between and reveal both the connections and ruptures. Mutability defines the hyphen, a state that should be exposed, exploited and celebrated. The former Bacardi headquarters in downtown Miami, Florida should be reconceptualized into a kinetic place where Cuban and Cuban-American artists work, art from the past and the present is exhibited, and the public interacts with them. In this way the campus will reflect the changes in Cuban-American identity since the buildings were erected for the Cuban spirits company shortly after the 1959 Cuban Revolution; it will continue and expand upon the cultural exchanges for which Miami is becoming known, and it will reintegrate an isolated office park into its current urban landscape. Approaching a culturally and historically significant structure such as the former Bacardi headquarters as a palimpsest will reveal not only the influence of the past, but also the significance of societal shifts through time and the relevance of the buildings today. Through analyzing precedents, and by engaging scale, exposing and concealing traces and layers, designing circulation, and considering the fluid relationship between art and architecture, this project proposes creating gallery and studio/residential spaces on the Bacardi campus that will revel in the hyphenated state. This study explores the relationship of the former Bacardi headquarters to the pronounced transformations in not only the Cuban exile community in Miami, but also in its immediate surroundings, and in the artistic communities that have sprouted around it. By exploiting the “hyphens,” the points where shifts in identity are occurring, where the traces of previous physical incarnations bump into the present, and where art and architecture become entangled, this thesis will attempt to reactivate the Bacardi campus and propose a dynamic force that responds to as well as provokes the Miami of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

It changes in relation to the landscape and structures surrounding it, or because of the people occupying it, or with the angle of sight, with the movement of light across its façade, or with the reflection of clouds or concrete in its windows. Partitions are moved or created to accommodate emerging or receding needs. Windows are sealed shut or covered with

  • Landscaping at the Water's Edge
    LANDSCAPING/GARDENING/ECOLOGY No matter where you live in New Hampshire, the actions you take in your landscape can have far-reaching effects on water quality. Why? Because we are all connected to the water cycle and we all live in a watershed. A watershed is the LANDSCAPING land area that drains into a surface water body such as a lake, river, wetland or coastal estuary. at the Water’sAN ECOLOGICAL APPROACHEdge LANDSCAPING Landscaping at the Water’s Edge is a valuable resource for anyone concerned with the impact of his or her actions on the environment. This book brings together the collective expertise of many UNH Cooperative Extension specialists and educators and an independent landscape designer. Unlike many garden design books that are full of glitz and glamour but sorely lacking in substance, this affordable book addresses important ecological issues and empowers readers by giving an array of workable at the Water’s Edge solutions for real-world situations. ~Robin Sweetser, Concord Monitor columnist, garden writer for Old Farmer’s Almanac, and NH Home Magazine Landscaping at the Water’s Edge provides hands-on tools that teach us about positive change. It’s an excellent resource for the gardener, the professional landscaper, designer, and landscape architect—to learn how to better dovetail our landscapes with those of nature. ~Jon Batson, President, NH Landscape Association Pictured here are the : A major river watersheds in N ECOLOGICAL APPROACH New Hampshire. This guide explains how our landscaping choices impact surface and ground waters and demonstrates how, with simple observation, ecologically based design, and low impact maintenance practices, you can protect, and even improve, the quality of our water resources.

  • Miami Office Space Can Be Found by Those Who Search February 7, 2017 By: Carla Vianna
    Miami Office Space Can Be Found by Those Who Search February 7, 2017 By: Carla Vianna Businesses searching for space in Miami's urban core have more options than they might think. While vacancy rates are down across the board, significant chunks of space are available in several Class A buildings in downtown and the Brickell Avenue financial district. "There are more alternatives available for those companies that take the time to appropriately investigate the market," said Chris Lovell, a senior managing director with Savills Studley in Miami. Leasing space on an upper floor with a view may be difficult since only six buildings on Brickell have a full floor above the 20th story available for lease. For tenants that can live without the view, there is plenty of open space to choose from. Four downtown Class A buildings have at least 75,000 square feet of contiguous space available, one Class A building on Brickell has a 65,000- square-foot block — "and we don't have tenants of that size standing in line to the claim the space," Lovell said. Savills Studley has found many of the large available blocks are in older downtown buildings. "You're always going to have buildings that are going to have certain pockets available," said Tere Blanca, founder of Miami-based Blanca Commercial Real Estate Inc. She said the market is responding well to the new Miami Central project, which is under construction with 60 percent of its office component pre- leased. The mixed-use development will serve as Brightline's downtown train station and will add 286,000 square feet of office space in two buildings.

Emmamoge Orewere1, Bilkisu Hassan2, Mustapha Faiza2 Ayodele Owonubi (Ph.D)1, and Michael Olabode Ogunrayewa (Ph.D)3 1Department of Horticulture and Landscape Technology, Federal College of Forestry, Jos. 2 Department of Architecture, College of Environmental Studies, Kaduna Polytechnic. 3 Department of Architecture, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, University of Jos, Plateau State. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nation particularly sustainable cities and communities development (goal eleven) and life on land (goal fifteen) targeted for year 2030 and Nigeria’s Vision 20:2020 (NV 20:2020) Economic Transformation Blueprint cannot be overemphasized. Land degradation will remain an important global issue for the 21st century because of its adverse impact on agronomic productivity, the environment, and its effect on food security and the quality of life. Land degradation is induced by human and natural activities. This paper focuses on the human induced land degradation as they can be prevented. This includes mining activities, erosion, bush burning, and loss of agricultural land among others. The productivity of some lands has declined by 50% due to soil erosion and desertification. Landscaping as an emerging field seeks to enhance and curb land degradation to certain aspects within cities and Nigeria in general. It focuses on Jos, the capital of Plateau State situated in the North-Central geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The methodology employed for this study is physical site survey, case study and review of related literature.
