FIU Emerging Architects Initiative
The School of Architecture at FIU seeks to enhance design innovation and encourage a culture of creativity for our community. The FIU Emerging Architects Initiative is a program that provides architects who have graduated within 15 years from an architecture school an opportunity to design and build a $16,000 innovative installation at the Paul L. Cejas School of Architecture building – designed by Bernard Tschumi – at the FIU Modesto A. Maidique Campus in Miami. This initiative is supported by generous donations from a charitable foundation and the Dean of The College of Architecture + the Arts.
The Challenge
To design and build a temporary outdoor installation that provides shade for events and student use on the third-floor terrace of the Paul L. Cejas School of Architecture building. Projects should inspire creativity and innovation at its highest level and reflect an ethical spirit of making with an attention to craft.
Specifically, the project must be designed to meet the following criteria:
To withstand Miami’s weather from January through May
To provide shade for events and casual student activities
To be demountable and quickly installed at other locations
To be built within budget and schedule. (See Below)
