In partnership with MakerFaire Miami, U-SoA students, faculty and Latin American Fabrication Laboratory coordinators created a series of prototype installations for a Pavilion and Exhibition. This Pavilion and Exhibition were multi-purpose as they were also used for the April 8th & 9th Miami MakerFaire Event (held at the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus). The U-Serve Pavilion, an exercise in creative place-making, digital fabrication, interactive media and collaborative design-build, was later transported to the U-SoA campus for exhibition after the MakerFaire Event, in preparation for its future installation at a community marketplace, scheduled to open in Coconut Grove, FL. This community-based project is being developed, designed and built by the Master of Real Estate + Urbanism program. The U-Serve Pavilion and Exhibition served as a bridge between local and LatAM-based craftsmen, entrepreneurs, architects, designers and the community-at-large, providing resources, skills and a (semi-permanent) marketplace where diverse start-up vendors, makers and artisans can thrive.
