Graffito Green

Location: Miami, Florida Project Type: Public Park Competition Client: Metro 1 and Downtown Awards: 2nd Place, International Design Competition

Graffito Green is a park inspired by the existing art and culture of the Wynwood neighborhood in Miami. Positioned to become the gateway for the monthly Art Walk, the park was composed to celebrate individualism, culture, pride, creativity and beauty. Designed to function at multiple scales and various times, the flattened ground plane that stretches across the park becomes an ever-changing canvas for street art, entertainment, markets or simply a place to have lunch. An elevated landform of lawn runs parallel with the canvas, providing a place to spread a blanket for a picnic, sun bathe, or take in an evening movie or performance.
