Description The course provides a comprehensive introduction to the real estate development process. The course covers the many challenges of the development process including: analyzing market sectors and development opportunities; conducting a site analysis; understanding the local social, economic, cultural and political context of a neighborhood; interpreting land use regulations and policies; researching the environmental and resiliency strategies and techniques for development; evaluating the financial feasibility of scenarios; identifying and securing land suitable for development; formulating a development program; identifying appropriate building types; raising investment capital; basic time, cost and contractual considerations for construction; marketing and sales, property management and exit strategies for developers. The course emphasizes the ability of livable community design practices to create value for developers, investors, existing and new residents while creating sustainable communities. At the two days of final reviews for the course all 17 interdisciplinary teams of students will present the results of their collaborative work on development proposals that encompass a site analysis, design concept, market analysis, development program, and financial feasibility analysis. Medium Scale Commercial Mixed-Use Sites Mixed-Income Development / Affordable Housing Sites for "Impact Investing" Studio Collaboration / Extension of Town Center in Dallas metro area Faculty Time Location Student Names
This project is a collaboration with an architecture studio led by Professor Jorge Hernandez and sponsored by a MRED+U board member. The students explored scenarios for a site in Hyde Park, NY being developed in partnership with the Culinary Institute of America to create a destination resort. The program will include a hotel, luxury residential (for sale and rental), and other uses such as one or more signature restaurants and programming for the resort concept. Students met with the development team and participated in a site visit to Hyde Park, NY.
RED 601 represents one of the most interdisciplinary course offerings for graduate students at the University of Miami. The fall 2021 course includes 75 students from eight difference graduate programs in five different schools and colleges, including MRED+U, Urban Design, Architecture, Construction Management from the School of Architecture, LLM Real Property Development from the School of Law, MBA-Real Estate from the Miami Herbert Business School, MS Construction Management from the College of Engineering, and MPS in Urban Sustainability and Resilience from Arts & Sciences and Architecture.
Project Descriptions
Small Scale Development
These projects focus on a variety of smaller urban infill lots of less than an acre in Allapattah, the Design District, and Downtown Doral.
These are sites consisting of one or more acres, typically under single ownership, that are prime redevelopment sites in Coral Gables (Lejeune Road Publix) and Miami (Douglas Road Sears).
These are sites in urban neighborhoods where mixed income housing, including affordable and workforce housing, and commercial uses are all possible depending on zoning. Housing can include a mix of for sale and rental products in single-family houses, townhomes and apartments. These will be sites and projects appropriate to enter in the Business School's Impact Investing Competition at the end of the semester. Sites include a large Winn-Dixie site in Liberty City, a YWCA site in Miami Gardens, and transitional religious properties in North Miami and Brownsville.
These teams explored development scenarios for the extension of a town center on a large site in Westlake, Texas in conjunction with Professor Plater-Zyberk's urban design studio.

PROJECT 5 THE GUEST HOUSE: A Place for Dwelling, Thinking and Making shall be the final Project of the semester. Students will be asked to draw upon the knowledge gathered up to this point in the semester by taking on the challenge of designing of a small Guest House. Having explored the discipline of Architecture through rigorous precedent analysis and exemplary models of works of architecture capable of imparting knowledge on conventions in architectural composition in response to a culture, climate, materiality, technology, use and form, students will engage in questions of convention, tradition, repetitive paradigms and invention. The setting for the new design shall be within a historical site of cultural importance in the City of Coral Gables. The design shall provide a place for an invited guest artist/scholar (painter, sculptor, musician, poet, writer, dancer, researcher…) to be in residence while completing hers/his creative work. There will be a virtual tour of the site, with City of Coral Gables officials, to aid in understanding the physical attributes and history of the place. The goal of embellishment and completion within an existing valued context shall be explored using principles of architectural composition studied in the preceding projects of the semester.

SPONSORED BY: City of Cutler Bay Description: The City Hall Building of the Future is a Community Hub 1) The Town of Cutler Bay is proposing to build a Municipal Complex and Community Park on 16 acres. This design studio will consider appropriate environmental strategies for taking a 16-acre brownfi eld and converting it into a signature community center. To accomplish this, the studio will participate in a series of public workshops with the Town of Cutler Bay staff and its citizens to envision what it will take for it to become the pride and joy of Cutler Bay. This project will include designing a new city hall, police station, parks & recreation facilities, a community civic center, and a green resiliency community park. 2) In stark contrast to just designing another monumental city hall in another city, this project will explore the design of a city hall that becomes the communal living room of the future. This design studio will explore design ideas that are a stark departure from the intimidating civic design of the past. We will be breaking down symbols of authority and making them into places that invite people to hang around. 3) Utilizing the latest technology, the students will be producing an augmented reality (AR) model of their design that can be seen over any iPad, iPhone, or Computer. We will be exploring the future of AR as a new tool for architects to communicate their designs. Faculty Time Location Student Names
This design studio will have three components: 1) Interactive sessions with the public and staff of the Town of Cutler Bay; 2) Exploration of the notion of making civic architecture into the communal living room of the future; and 3) Developing augmented reality (AR) model of the design and making them available on-line to the public;

Description: Ephemere Highrise The focus therefore on the design of an ultra-modern high-rise concept in the field of tension between the natural and built environment at a high design and, above all, conceptual level. The ephemeral, the non-permanent, and fleeting are explored in the design studio from different angles and refractions. Faculty Time Location Student Names
In addition to dealing with high-end techologies, it is therefore necessary to create an environment that is optimally adapted to people and their social needs, which is inspired above all by natural phenomena and thus brings the anthropogenic performance capacity of our society closer to its natural environment again.

National Park Service Description: The Natatorium @ Sutro Baths The Sutro baths and casino out on the beach, just north of Sutro Heights, are rapidly nearing completion. There is no bathing establishment in this country as large, as complete, as convenient or as luxuriously appointed. Once there was a huge depression on the north side of the road that runs to Sutro Heights, and in the depression or gully was a sea of sand, and rock, and seaweed and spray, and the gulls went there to roost. The Sutro baths and casino will be enclosed, and one of the most desolate and forlorn spots in the world will have been converted into one of the finest structures in the world—if not the finest. Inside these green, glass-covered walls there will be an amphitheater capable of seating 5000 people comfortably. Here all manner of aquatic entertainments will be provided. Sham naval battles will be held. There will be trapezes without number, springboards galore, and all the athletic appointments that can possibly be employed in aquatic sports. The Natatorium @ Sutro Baths in San Francisco contemplates the social, cultural and architectural context of a contemporary aquatics center on the site of Adolf Sutro’s Baths & Casino.

With an architect's eye, this studio will harvest recent resilience and public health learnings from COVID to weather and cyber disruptions. The studio includes a study trip to Atlanta, an historically diverse city, with local micro-burst storms to population growth affecting intown neighborhoods. Workshops with special experts will be integrated, to assist students with interdisciplinary data and insights. The studio is organized in three modules and scales to discover, define, and design at the scale of the neighborhood, the block, the building. Depopulated for decades, many neighborhoods thrived before and during COVID-19, with green corridors, biking lanes, dog parks, newly re-activated outdoor public spaces and creative live/work adaptation. Taking public health and resilience learnings, observing neighborhood patterns, how will new design thinking enhance daily life for longstanding and new residents, young to old, and side-by-side enhance preparedness for disruptions, such as freezes, power outages and storms? How will technologies assist or influence designs that enhance the neighborhood-scale projects, yet integrate regional networks, from storm corridors, to transit and bike routes? In both design process and product, this studio will tap methods of design study to enhance resilience and healthiness at a neighborhood scale, from new live/ work infill, to pop-up outdoor structures, from solar trees to water collection, and other forms of neighborhood-based preparedness yet to be discovered.

Description: An Introduction to Urban Design, Sustainability, Wellness, and Equity Social goals include community connectedness, embodied in appealing shared spaces and gathering places that welcome a diversity of people and activities. Environmental goals include sustainability and resilience, supporting the health of natural resources and systems, and human well-being. Economic goals include the balancing of benefit and cost, for the community and the implementors, in terms of investment, operations, and growth in value. To achieve these goals, urban design deploys knowledge across disciplines, including planning, architecture, landscape architecture, traffic engineering, sociology, real estate development and finance. All of these will inform the studio, guided by the methods and techniques of the New Urbanism. A sequence of projects will introduce the principles and methods of urban design: Faculty Student Names
Urban design is guided by social, economic and environmental goals.
Students learn how to design places that: encourage pedestrian use of public space, provide a sense of place, promote a sense of community, and are functional and beautiful.

Description: Thinking Lines. Drawing Thoughts. Faculty Time Location
The focus of this course is to teach students skills to successfully develop and communicate thought processes. We will start exploring "the line" as a mode of expression and carrier of meaning. Through "the line", students will be guided through didactic and challenging exercises exploring eye-hand coordination, gesture, space and composition. A wide range of drawing methods will be covered, allowing students to experiment and incorporate traditional and non-traditional approaches. Subject matter will alternate between figurative and still life, we will draw outside and inside the classroom, shift from dry to wet medium, as well as vary the size and scale of drawings. The course will focus on each student's personal development, with the sole purpose of enriching their own creative explorations.

Description: The NOBE West Lots Plan Faculty Jurors Time Location Student Names
The North Beach Master Plan (Plan NoBe) was adopted by the City of Miami Beach in 2016 following an extensive public process and has served as a catalyst for numerous initiatives in the North Beach area. An initial plan for the West Lots was a part of this larger planning effort. This detailed planning for the West Lots follows from this initial planning process that laid out numerous possibilities for this public asset. The West Lots are eight city owned development parcels fronting Collins Avenue between 79th Street and 87th Street. The lots lie between the North Shore Historic District which was adopted in January 2018 and the North Beach Oceanside Park which fronts the ocean. The lots currently hold three parking lots, Ocean Rescue services, and a new skate park. There are certain considerations for whatever these lots become due to their proximity to these assets. The Graduate Design Studio is proposing a series of alternate development proposals for the lots that will help the City in their ultimate planning and zoning designation into accounts issues of urban planning, mixed use programming and resiliency.

Description: Wood City - Developing Miami’s Wood Utilization Centre Architecture is essentially an extension of nature into the man-made realm, providing the ground for perception and the horizon of experiencing and understanding the world. It is not an isolated and self-sufficient artifact; it directs our attention and existential experience to wider horizons. Architecture also gives a conceptual and material structure to societal institutions, as well as to the conditions of daily life. It concretises the cycle of the year, the course of the sun and the passing of the hours of the day.” The act of building without question is a territorial act, requiring the pushing and pulling of matter until a building materializes. Consciously or unconsciously, the design process is responsible for the reorganization of these often forgotten remote territories into construction ecologies, a binding of the natural and built environment. Global conversations of architecture and urbanism, whether through the lens of political, economical or social interests have been precariously balanced upon these environmental alterations. For the United States these discussions have applied pressure on the exploration of alternative processes aiming to reduce the impacts to the natural environment both domestic and foreign. The studio Wood City: Developing Miami’s Wood Utilization Centre will posit investigations within an active development team to interrogate the construction ecologies of wood in the southeast region, engaging the question how does innovation inform architecture’s role in a material agenda?

Description: Old School New School Faculty Time Location Digital/Remote Modality Afternoon Zoom Meeting (1:30pm): Student Names
The proposed studio, another in-depth investigation into Miami’s ‘social infrastructure’— the physical places and organizations that shape the way people interact — will take the current administration’s Infrastructure Plan as a positive impulse and starting point to challenge the mindset of contemporary American school design. Not just highways, bridges, ports, airports and transit systems, but also more mundane public structures like schools are crumbling after decades of chronic disinvestment. More so, educational architecture seems to have deteriorated to mere equipment facilities, without any design or civic ambition beyond keeping children safely confined. The project — a middle school in Miami-Dade, the fourth-largest school district in the United States — will be approached through research-based learning and typological experimentation: precise observations of the contemporary condition of Miami’s schools, analysis of international model projects, and the construction of large-scale models will be fundamental tools in this process. Working with common sense and logic, we will search for ways of (re)interpreting infrastructure as an open and dynamic system that adapts to changing social circumstances and enriches its urban and natural environment, fosters new forms of collectivity and raises the architectural impact in the public realm.

Description “A walk through a forest is invigorating and healing due to the constant interaction of all sense modalities; Bachelard speaks of ‘the polyphony of the senses’. The eye collaborates with the body and the other senses. One’s sense of reality is strengthened and articulated by this constant interaction. Architecture is essentially an extension of nature into the man-made realm, providing the ground for perception and the horizon of experiencing and understanding the world. It is not an isolated and self-sufficient artifact; it directs our attention and existential experience to wider horizons.” The inaugural design studio focuses on the role of architectural design as an integrative discipline. Using Miami as a laboratory and drawing from natural specimens, the studio will examine the relationship between nature, landscape, and the built environment. It will use research and analysis, design thinking skills, ordering systems, site design, materials, methods, structure, light, space, and tectonics as a means of developing a meaningful design process. As a conceptual lens, this class takes Pallasmaa’s words as a starting point. As the theorist puts it, architecture is not an “isolated and self-sufficient artifact”. It is situated somewhere at the intersection of a an existing landscape, a pile of materials and our bodies. As such, the task of architecture then is to generate a spatial device through which we can perceive ongoing conversations between materials and sites. In order to emphasize the importance of this ongoing back and forth, the class will focus on elemental architectures and architecture types usually found away from urban settings, nestled in nature: a shelter, an outdoor amenity, a pavilion.

Architecture within Landscapes
The tropical climate and landscape of South Florida will serve as a context for design. Two of the three assignments will explore the different site conditions that exist within two parks located in Miami. Miami has, over the last century, sought to strengthen its ties to its unique landscapes through the establishment of a robust Parks Department. Miami-Dade County is now home to one of the country’s largest park registry. The Miami-Dade parks system includes over 250 parks comprising 12,727 acres and has 2 National Parks within its boundaries. In recent years, the Department has invested a considerable of efforts in putting together the Open Space Master Plan which, during the next decades, will give direction to future investments. Students are invited to get familiar with this vision: https://www.miamidade.gov/parksmasterplan/library/OSMP_FINAL_REPORT_entiredocument.pdf
Architecture as a Landscape of Affects
As an extension of the idea that architectural design must be in conversation with the existing site, is the idea that the architecture itself can integrate the qualities and experiences found in nature and therefore become its own landscape of affects. As students will be introduced to elemental methods of form-making in our discipline, they will also be assigned (or tasked to identify) a specific affect to address with their design proposal. Therefore, beyond the formal gestures and functional requirements, the proposals must be able to convey a range of experiences that emphasize the given affect.
Architecture within an Ecology of Ideas
Finally, the studio will initiate students to a given set of the ecology of ideas within which the disciplines of architecture and design function. In order be able to communicate spatial ideas and architectural arguments effectively through their design proposals, students will need to become familiar with the lexicon and core concepts that define the design of architecture. Design proposals should go beyond the mere resolution of the program to include larger concepts that set into motion this ecology of ideas. Students should expect to be evaluated on their ability to translate this lexicon both through written text and through drawings. A series of readings will help to further this conceptual framework and guide the larger implications of specific design decisions.

Image: Recently donated antique hand tools for the BuildLab. Description: The Design/Build Studio
At the onset of his book; ‘The Craftsman’ Richard Sennett mentions “a basic human impulse: the desire to do a job well for its own sake.” A Professor of Sociology, Sennett is interested in connecting people back to their work by finding meaning in craft. Working with one’s hands, developing skill, had meaning and instilled not only pride in making, but a profound knowledge of self. In this studio we hope to extend your knowledge of design through thoughtful consideration of building problems through hands-on learning. And like Sennett we will explore dimensions of skill, commitment and judgement, through concrete practice and thinking. We will work with a variety of tools; hand and machine, and learn the value of overcoming the limits of materials or the opportunity that may arise from finding new solutions to old problems. Connecting head and hand, design and building, will expand your understanding of architecture and better prepare you for the profession. The semester will involve a series of projects related to the B.E & W.R. Miller BuildLab with a focus on finish carpentry, tight tolerances and a high level of craft. This is a studio about doing and learning through action. No previous experience in building is required. However, we are looking for students with unbridled enthusiasm and a passionate commitment to making great things. In the end you will achieve experience, skill, resilience and self-reliance.
