From the Downtown boom of the 1920s to the rise of Brickell Avenue as an international banking hub, a legacy is drawn that understands high-rises not only as a building phenomenon but as a vivid expression of the local city culture. The exhibition consists of three parts: An illustration of Miami’s major high-rise typologies, through an explicative timeline, seven custom-made physical models of historic towers, and ten contemporary project presentations. An overview of new technologies that will affect the future of high-rise construction (displayed in the video format). A digital presentation of built and unbuilt work by faculty members of the UM School of Architecture and Florida International University (displayed on screens). Finally, a Miami High Rise APP was developed allowing visitors to use tablets to view information about each project. By scanning each model, visitors can see the contextual 3D model of downtown Miami.
