"¿como se ven mis uñas?"

my grandmother has been living 101 years: she lives everyday having conversations with different people, asking for chisme, drinking café con leche, talking about her enamorado(s)--past and present--even having her nails painted...as her name suggests, ella es bien Fina.

MIAMI PUBLIC SPACE CHALLENGE 2016

FINALIST TEAM: CHRISTOPHER GONGORA, VERONICA JAILE, PEDRO MUNARRIZ

BENEATH THE BRICKELL AVENUE BRIDGE, A SHADOWY SPACE AWAITS YOU. WITH NO OTHER DIRECTION TO GO, YOU ARE DRAWN IN. UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS, THE RUMBLE OF CARS OVERHEAD AND THE LAPPING OF THE RIVER'S EDGE FILL THE SPACE. IS THERE A WAY OUT? UNDER THE BRIDGE PROPOSES TO SPUR THE USE OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BRICKELL AVENUE BRIDGE ALONG THE DOWNTOWN RIVERWALK. FROM THE BIRTHPLACE OF MIAMI, UNDER THE BRIDGE WILL EVOKE THE ENERGY AND THE ELEMENT OF CHANGE IN THE SURROUNDING CITY. WITH THE USE OF VIDEO MAPPING PROJECTIONS, THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BRICKELL AVENUE BRIDGE CAN BECOME TRANSPARENT, REVEALING THE THOUSANDS OF WATERCRAFT THAT PASS YEARLY OR THE CARS AS THEY WIZ BY ABOVE. THE SPACE CAN BECOME AN OUTDOOR THEATER, EVENT SPACE OR EVEN A PLACE TO STUMBLE ACROSS A HISTORY LESSON. MORE THAN JUST A STOP ALONG THE RIVERWALK, THE PROPOSAL WILL BE A DESTINATION TO WHICH THE RIVERWALK LEADS. MUCH OF MIAMI'S WATERFRONT HAS BEEN OCCUPIED BY PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE LAST 120 YEARS. THE MIAMI RIVERWALK PROVIDES RESIDENTS AND VISITORS WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A VIBRANT PUBLIC WATERFRONT, BUT LACKS A "SOUL". UNDER THE BRIDGE CAN TRANSFORM A GLOOMY, UNCOMFORTABLE SPACE INTO A HIGHLY ADAPTABLE PUBLIC SPACE WITH UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES WHERE MIAMIANS WILL WANT TO SPEND THEIR FREE TIME AND EXPERIENCE THEIR CITY.
