DawnTown is the annual public international architecture ideas competition for Downtown Miami. DawnTown's mission is to bring creative architecture to Downtown Miami, and to help tell the exciting urban story of Downtown Miami to the world.
In order to be considered meritorious by the jury, each entry must address the following program, which includes architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture. Specific information such as, exact site dimensions, building square footages, program, photos, will be attached later in this document:
The proposed terminal will be new, consisting of a terminal, hangar, site accommodations and restaurant / lounge. Square footages will be provided for each of the uses and designers should not go over the allotted amounts. See Appendix B.
The design and materials must consider the climate of Miami, the heat, humidity, rain, and sometimes hurricanes.
All building designs should be innovative and express the spirit and civic pride of Miami (as the entrant understands it) and the importance of infrastructure, particularly transportation, resulting in a unique setting.
Design must reflect study of all elevations, can incorporate sustainable features and techniques, and should assume no budget, zoning, or arbitrary design restrictions. However, designers will not go past the boundaries as allotted by the information given on the maps.
Designs will be cognizant of potential development of the Island Gardens project, because of its approval. However, since its current situation is unknown, it is up to the designer as to include it in their schemes and they will not be penalized for not including it.
Connection between the terminal and downtown Miami is important to consider. Think of how people will access this site. An automobile isn’t the only way to approach Watson Island.
The passenger base for the airline will be diverse; commuters and tourists alike. Someone who commutes to Miami might be resident from the Bahamas who comes to shop, or a resident of Tampa who does business in the financial district several days a week. A tourist could be a Miami resident heading to Paradise Island to take advantage of the resorts and casinos, or simply someone who wants to expedite their trip to Key West in under half an hour.
Designs should take into account the type of aircraft used, which is the Grumman Albatross. The seaplane terminal will handle only 35 round trip flights per week.
Design must explore providing visual connection from Bicentennial Park, as well as the view from Dodge Island. The experience of taking off from Biscayne Bay creates a thrilling moment and a tourist attraction for those people at the park, and as well as those arriving via cruise ship.
Focus Point: Designs should take advantage of the unique program and site to create an iconic and memorable place that brings significance to Watson Island. Although not connected to the main land, the island is still a part of the downtown. It can be seen from a majority of high rises and serves as a connector to and from downtown Miami.
