Project Name

Jade Alley

Description

This sleek intervention in Miami’s recently revitalized design district has transformed an alleyway into an iconic public place. It was born from a local AIA-funded research grant that allowed the design team to publish a book on alleyway research, which the district’s developers discovered online. With its ancient ruins-like series of parabolic concrete arches, Jade Alley has evolved from a leftover urban space beset by dumpsters into an intriguing destination for the community.

It was born\nfrom a local AIA-funded research grant that allowed the design team to publish\na book on alleyway research, which the district\u2019s developers discovered online.\nWith its ancient ruins-like series of parabolic concrete arches, Jade Alley has\nevolved from a leftover urban space beset by dumpsters into an intriguing\ndestination for the community. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"The district was once home to pineapple farms and, later, furniture\nwarehouses. It has since developed into a prime destination that draws visitors\nseeking unique art, retail, fashion, and architecture. It has grown in multiple\nphases, during which new buildings and public spaces have been added while\npieces of the existing fabric were preserved. Jade Alley, through the rhythm\nand structure of its arches, offers an intimate pedestrian-focused public space\nthat is rare in the car-dependent sprawl of the city. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"At the onset of the project, the alley was replete with trash rooms,\ntransformers, and haphazard parking. Its transformation grows from the series\nof varying arches the team inserted, much like a smaller-scale viaduct that as\na structure marries the future and the past. The arches were cast in rough-sawn\nboard forms to maintain the informal atmosphere of the original alleyway. Marks\nleft by the boards give the arches a texture akin to wood, something not\ncommonly found in Miami\u2019s extreme climate. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Despite the district\u2019s focus on luxury, the alley was designed to be\nenjoyed by people from all walks of life, and it is one of the only places in\nthe neighborhood where a purchase is not required to enjoy the space. To make\nthe space accessible for all, the pavement, entries, and sidewalk transitions\nwere completely rebuilt to meet current accessibility standards. It\u2019s not\nuncommon to find retail and restaurant workers, high school students, and\ntourists relaxing in the shade formed by the arches and the alley\u2019s lush\nplantings. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Geometry similar to the arches has been applied along the alley\u2019s new\nstorefronts and scaled down to turn existing trash and mechanical rooms into\nsmall retail and dining spaces operated by local businesses. Jade Alley also\nfeatures an evolving series of murals and art installations by artists from\nMiami and around the world. Those works have combined with a series of free art\nwalks, performances, and other activities to firmly cement the space in the\ncity\u2019s cultural scene.
