Located at Biscayne Boulevard and NE 5th Street in downtown Miami, the Campus Center for Miami Dade college looks like something out of OMA’s handbag. It is urban density turned into a superbuilding, combining apartments, offices, educational facilities, and a lot of space for art exhibition. But it is all Miami: the bravado somehow feels just what downtown Miami needs, and the design firm responsible, Oppenheim Architects , is located in Miami as well. Oppenheim’s website says the project’s estimated completion is 2012, although we think this is an incredibly optimistic considering the project that has a lot of speculative residential and commercial development.
Still, those dbox renderings really look sweet. We hope it happens.
Designer: Oppenheim Architects
are you fkn kiddin me? wow!
thats impressive… especially for a college…
The rendering looks awesome…I hope the structure is hurricane friendly
would be fun to build as new WTC @ NY
c’est bien de loin mais c’est loin d’être bien
remind me of the new cctv building in beijing.
The war on drugs has been a God-send for some cities.
i live there… in 4 years they haven’t built a 10th of all the buildings they wanted to build (and those are the simple non ambitious buildings)… realistically speaking, unless there’s some russian mobster’s money behind this, it isn’t happening anytime soon.
crazy
This building is completely devoid of human scale at the ground level. It begs the question, should architect’s build to glorify the developer/client or should they build to serve humanity?
I remain unimpressed.
cool
Looks great!
I don’t like the way it looks from close. But from far away…wow.
sorry i live in miami and this project is not happening currently.
There is no way this is being built right now. Not in Miami
nice job dbox, those are some great renderings! love it.
My family all the time say that I am killing my time here at
net, except I know I am getting familiarity every day by reading thes fastidious content.
Great design
