Pump House Miami
Type
The challenge of this competition was to take an old, still-in-use water
pump station in Miami and to elevate its architectural value to the
level of its newly developed surroundings in a meaningful and contextual
fashion. This proposal, a monument to water, challenges us to
experience water elementally and to reconsider our attitudes and methods
of using, processing, and distributing it. The station's roof, a rain
collector and cistern, supplies water to screens of shifting horizontal
glass panes on the north and west facades. The screens collaborate with
the concrete walls, the aquarium windows, ground plane water pools, and
skylights that invite light to filter through the water cistern/roof,
creating active water gardens for public use.
