Walking in Miami...


Walking in Miami, a few days ago, I was in Miami beach for a few meetings. New work by JMA is coming in Miami!!... Anyways, walking on Collins ave, I saw this parking garage on the corner of 7th and Collins ave...



It is interesting to see how this parking garage is hidden behind the green wall. You almost don’t know that there is a parking behind that.
We are usually used to seeing a big concrete structure used for parking garages. Some of them are beautiful and some of them are just concrete structure. Some of them are open and some of them are dressed with precast concrete. 
As an architect, when i walk along the urban space, I feel rewarded to see a nice inclusion on the streetscape of the city. I think this is a great approach to the design element of the city!
