INHABITED FRAMES creates a speculative assembly for a park serving as a defensible common space for its occupants. Calle Ocho faces a large amount of gentrification, wherein residents of Miami are being forced to relocate due to newer construction. This project aims to provide a space for residents of Calle Ocho to protest and defend these changes. The project is based on a grid system created by a series of repeating frame structures which are scaled, rotated, and assembled. Ground is then brought in between these frames on the diagonal of the underlying grid, further layering upon itself and building levels within the site. Cuts are made through the ground which are then used as hardscape, embedding within the ground to be flexibly used as walkways, seating areas, planters, or stages for protest depending on the needs of the general public. This creates areas of porosity and translucency throughout the site, allowing for the park to remain open while creating spaces of privacy and enclosure. Tunnels as well as the flexible hardscape created by these cuts are used as modes of circulation throughout the project. This system of tunneling throughout a gridded framework while interlacing between hardscape embedding within hardscape aims to create an open, adaptable park wherein residents are able to freely inhabit and occupy space.
