Miami - Arch Out Loud Competition
Arch Out Loud is calling on designers to propose solutions for floating housing in Miami’s Biscayne Bay.
The problems of sea-level rise and housing affordability in Miami merge together as a new phenomenon called “climate gentrification”. Current residents of neighborhoods located on higher ground within the city are being displaced by coastal residents looking to escape the rising seas and flooding.
Little Haiti and Little River are two bordering neighborhoods located north of downtown Miami just west of Biscayne Bay. They have rich cultural histories filled with Haitian and Caribbean residents who have lived in these neighborhoods their entire lives, and some for multiple generations. However, recently they have become hotspots for new developments and climate gentrification. This is primarily due to parts of the neighborhood having higher elevations that attract developers to invest in new buildings, making rent and home prices rise higher than the longtime residents can afford. The northern edge of these areas is at high risk of sea-level rise due to its proximity to the Little River Canal, further amplifying the number of displaced residents.The recent development and revitalization of the neighborhoods brings about its own underlying uncertainties: will longtime residents be able to find affordable housing near their current homes and communities? And, if so, how can they protect themselves from the risk of being displaced again due to sea level rise?
Submission Deadline: Nov 9, 2022
Call for Ideas
Next year Radicepura will inaugurate the fourth edition of the Radicepura Garden Festival (Sicily – Italy), the first international Festival dedicated to the Mediterranean landscape (https://www.radicepurafestival.com/), which since 2017 has been promoting a call for young landscape designers, architects, designers, agronomists etc. and grand masters of the landscaping from all over the world.
Topic of the 4th edition The Garden of the Plants, from an idea of the Festival's artistic director Antonio Perazzi, who says, "The topic we are proposing this year focuses attention on the botanical element: no longer a corollary or simple decoration, but a starting point and professional inspiration. Designers, regardless of their education, will be called upon to grapple with a botany for landscape architects, well-declined and elegant projects that can demonstrate the benefits of a quality artistic garden that is modern, functional, poetic and serene. This is intended to foster debate around a different style of garden that can promote a conscious belonging to the natural world, gardens in which a sincere relationship with plants is enacted on a daily basis."
The call for entries will expire next November 14, 2022.
Registration is free and is for under 36s (students can benefit from a university mentor over 36), with the exception of one garden also open to over 36s. The seven gardens that will pass the selection will be added to the permanent installations by Antonio Perazzi, James Basson, Michel Péna and François Abelanet.
