Hard Rock Stadium in Miami rethinks the drive-in movie typology


“It’s a fundamental human need to physically experience and celebrate events and experiences together, and we’re trying to provide options for everyone where they can be safely socially distant and socially present at the same time.”



The Covid-19 pandemic which continues to bring changes to our daily lives is causing one football franchise to rethink a classic from the 1950's: The Drive-In Movie Theater. The function of your standard cineplex today is not conducive to maintaining the various social distancing policies. However, the classic model of the Drive-In, popularized in the 40's-60's with the advent of the automobile allows for safe distancing by not sacrificing the desire to go see the latest films on the market. Hard Rock claims to be able to hold up to 230 cars with restroom facilities and concession stations available. An open air theater would also be available on the exterior of the stadium.  

No date has yet been released as to when or if this proposal will materialize. Only a handful of renderings show what could be.  Nevertheless, Hard Rock raises the question whether reverting to this classic style of movie-going experience can temporarily bring back some sense of normalcy to the everyday.

Wood Urbanism

Resim
Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
