boomerang loop, miami seplane terminal 2010
boomerang loop, seaplane terminal, miamiA boomerang flies because of form and force, creating in its looping flight a diagram of the interaction between the thin mass of air and the form of the boomerang itself.The new seaplane terminal is the proposal of an urban boomerang that in its displacement of ground creates urban connections which allow for the most intensive use of Watson Island. The seaplane terminal lifts from a slit in the ground, the action creates a continuous boardwalk that flows gently from the future garden islands development to a new park in the east of Watson Island. The form of the terminal is derived from the spatial movement of the different components of the program and the functional relations between the passenger, the operation of the seaplane and the urban spaces of the terminal. The terminal becomes a looped space that connects at many levels different urban trajectories. The lifted ground creates a new urban space for the restaurant, lounge and urban terraces which through the action look back into downtown Miami.The seaplane terminal is not only a functional space but an urban intervention that through the use of the infrastructures in Watson Island creates a new urban landscape. The intention and strategy of the project is to create a connection between different urban levels, mainly by bridging the terminal through a new boardwalk for pedestrians and bicycles. Through this action a new urban space is created connecting the garden islands development to a renewed park in the east of the island. The boomerang is the lifted slit of a new topography, an extension of a park created by earth movements derived of the Port of Miami tunnel excavation.*This project was developed by office-247 as a submission to the 2010 Miami Seaplane Competition.
