CONCEPT
We envision the Pier-Museum not only as a commemorative space for the new urban and multicultural crossbreeding of the 21st century, but also as an ecological assistant device. The impoverishment of the Caribbean water quality, among other factors, has caused the extinction of 50% of the Caribbean coral reef. Pollution and the rise of acidity levels and synthetic chemicals in the ocean can be gradually clean out by a “living ecosystem building”. So we think of the building as an environmental, responsible and cultural enriching experience entity.
THE BUIDING AND THE CITY
As one walks through the Fifth Avenue and approaches the Lumus Park, a wooden floor begins to merge gradually with the landscape, transforming itself into a set of public furniture and pedestrian walks. Continuing to the sea, this structure begins to rise, and when it reaches the beach, a node of stairs and showers welcome the pedestrian visitor to the beach by climbing a high deck. Afterwards, the visitor will discover a great view: an upper deck shaded by big mangroves that emerge from the circulation patio of the building; water reflections from the sea disembarkation lower pier; and the skyline of Miami. Two glass and wooden box-shaped structures, one at each end of the building, stand out from the great main deck, where two staircases and elevators lead the visitor to the three-story building. At the first floor, an open, double-high reception welcomes the visitor to the mangrove main patio. A framed glass-door introduces the visitor to the multiple bridges that connect each space of the building. The project emerges from the idea of redistributing the inner area within the five allowed “cantilever”
meters. So we produce an interior space full of vegetation and water known as “the floating forest.” Architecture, water and vegetation will become one element. At this space, the visitor will be able to enjoy from the different exhibitions throughout an open shaded patio circulation that will provide a unique pleasant experience.
THE FLOATING FOREST
Made up of mangroves, these are some environmental benefits:
- Trap debris and silt that will contribute to
soil formation and stabilizing the coastline.
- Act as a filtering system for the run-off and
ground waters, clarifying adjacent open water, which makes photosynthesis in marine plants easier. Mangroves will also help to avoid other forms of pollution, including excess amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous, petroleum products, and halogenated compounds. Mangroves will stop these contaminants from polluting the ocean waters through a process called rhizofiltration.
- Produce nutrients.
- Protect coastal land by absorbing the energy of storm -driven wave and wind action- and create a natural breakwater that will help stop erosion, prevent a great deal of property damage and sometimes even human death.
- Serve as a nursery and refuge for many juvenile fish, invertebrates and birds.
