THE NEIGHBORHOODAt the end of World War II, there was a big exodus of Wynwood residents to the newly developed suburbs. Commercialization and urban flight took its toll on the neighborhood. The old timers, and younger generation that grew up in the neighborhood, moved away. This trend changed the composition of the neighborhood dramatically.The exodus formed a void in the neighborhood that began to be filled with a variety of new immigrants to Miami.

THE MAYORThe first unofficial Mayor of Wynwood was Dottie Quintana. She moved to Wynwood in the late 1950s. Dottie spent her life helping the sick, elderly and children. For 10 years, Dottie would often drive the neighborhood at night and make note of the activities of drug dealers in Wynwood. The next day she would drop off her notes to the police station. She would collect food from churches to give to Haitian Immigrants when they first started arriving in the late 1970s. She helped the Cuban Refugees that began arriving in the 1980s. She was instrumental in the opening of the Borinquen Health Center and the De Hostos Senior Center.

THE CHAILLE PLANJosiah Chaille, a real estate agent in early Miami is best known for his work on the Miami City Council. In 1920, the city council enacted a new street name and numbering system in a plan provided by Chaille called the Chaille Plan. The modern-day street names and numbers in Wynwood are directly from this plan.

In 2015, the Wynwood Business Improvement District successfully lobbied the City of Miami to create a new zoning overlay in Wynwood. This new zoning district, termed Neighborhood Revitalization District-1 (NRD-1), codified the shift in Wynwood from light industrial and warehouse uses to a mixture of housing, businesses and galleries. In addition to changing industrial zoning to mixed-use commercial, the NRD-1 contains a host of regulations to create a walkable neighborhood and to encourage art in Wynwood. The NRD-1 also allows developers to pay a relatively cheap in-lieu fee as an alternative to building onsite parking in order to incentivize consolidation of parking in structures and encourage walking.

The NRD-1 also includes a height bonus to encourage greater density and fund affordable housing and public open space. The bonus allows for two to three additional stories beyond what is ordinarily allowed. Though it has only been four years since the NRD-1 was instituted, according to Joseph Furst, chair of the BID, nearly all new developers have taken advantage of the height bonuses and offsite parking incentives.

By virtue of its location, cultural momentum, public support and visionary investment, Wynwood has become one of Miami’s premier arts destinations.

The Wynwood Business Improvement District market area contains a total of close to 3,900,000 square feet of improved building area, consisting of retail, apartment, industrial, and flex space. In the past five years much of the area’s older industrial and flex space, remnants of the areas prior use as fashion and garment district, has been repurposed for retail and art gallery space which now accounts for approximately 30% ofthe improved buildings in Wynwood.While the area has seen significant change over the past five years, the next five years will bring even greater change asnew construction is underway that will aid in Wynwood’s evolution. In next few years the total supply of buildings in theBusiness Improvement District area is projected to increase by 35% to around 5.3 million square feet as 1.4 million square feet under construction is completed. An additional 1.75 million square feet of development is proposed for the area.

Wynwood’s recent and continuous economic growth will positively affect our design in a variety of ways. Firstly, the increase in full-time population will compliment our metropolitan fresh market because it means the market will serve a larger portion of the local community and its inhabitants. Another aspect of Wynwood’s economic growth that will compliment our design is it’s improvement in building area; new up-and-coming retail spaces, offices, and art galleries that are being repurposed from old industrial buildings will add foot traffic to the area, thus giving our metropolitan fresh market a wave of locals regularly shopping and dining at our facility. It will serve its purpose as a community gathering space and will give this new wave of people a fresh take on food shopping and fresh eating.

Wynwood’s increase in out-of-town visitors also means an increase of “quality” when designing for our facility. Both locals and out-of-towners will appreciate a fresh take on the retail experience and hospitality design as well as the innovation stemming from our design.

MODERN ART

Wynwood’s rise to fame began with one of its current focal points: The Wynwood Walls. In 2007, after being inspired by a mural painted by Keith Haring on a building he purchased in New York, real-estate developer Tony Goldman acquired the six buildings that compose the Wynwood Walls and created a town center out of a desolate warehouse district. In 2009, he commissioned international street artists to paint murals on the walls of the buildings surrounding a gravel parking lot. Goldman saw potential outdoor museums where the average eye would see run-down warehouses. Annually evolving, the walls in Wynwood serve just as a gallery or museum would, with artists’ works staying on view for up to three years and then being replaced by the next mural. This concept in Wynwood has turned graffiti from an “eyesore” theory to a model for urban development.

A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT

Wynwood is mainly composed of warehouses once used for the working class; it is known as the Fashion District because it served the retail workforce and garment factories. Because it was home to manufacturing companies when it was developed, the buildings that now house retail stores, restaurants, and art galleries are typically one or two floors high and have very little complexity on their interiors. When the NRD-1 was passed in 2015, it was meant to turn Wynwood from an industrial district into a mixed-use area to make idea of the local community more present. Wynwood’s unique street art and industrial characteristics are meant to stay preserved, as these are the elements that make Wynwood one-of-a-kind. Wynwood has already begun to evolve to make room for work, live, and play.

THE SHIFT TO MULTI-USE

Since the NRD-1 was initiated, Wynwood has adapted a few multi-level buildings that combine residential, retail, and hospitality typologies. Wynwood 25, for example, recently opened this year and it includes 285 apartment units, retail spaces, co-working spaces, a wine bar, and an interior courtyard that is meant to allow people to flow through the ground floor. This building strengthens the concept of bringing the community together as a live-work-play community.

A CHANGING CANVAS

Wynwood’s street art concept shines through because of the massive murals that cover the facades of almost each and every wall in the district. The murals seen on the walls in Wynwood are painted by both local and international artists and portray expression about different subjects like politics, pop culture, women’s rights, and climate change. Wynwood’s flurry of murals are a direct representation of its community’s progressive state of mind. They serve to inspire and spark conversation and creativity.

Wynwood’s ever-changing canvas includes other elements part of the urbanscape; sidewalks and light posts are also used for art purposes, making the user feel engulfed in it.

ALWynwood was long referred to as "Little San Juan” and commonly known as "El Barrio" as many Puerto Ricans began immigrating to Miami in the 1950s. Puerto Rican-owned restaurants, shops, markets and other businesses line the streets of Wynwood. The neighborhood’s demographics represented the first big influx of Hispanics into Miami and it was referred to as Little San Juan over 10 years prior to the area near the Orange Bowl being referred to as Little Havana. The names of many of the neighborhood’s public places began to change to important Puerto Rican figures and terms.

The Wynwood Walls were created in 2009 by the late urban developer, Tony Goldman, in an effort to develop the area's pedestrian potential. Artists from around the world have contributed to the Wynwood Walls. The Walls have been covered by media such as the New York Times and the BBC bringing international attention to the destination. The Walls have expanded to include murals outside the neighborhood, including Outside the Walls which features art covering entire buildings. In 2010, Goldman added the Wynwood Doors to highlight smaller artists. Curbed listed Wynwood Walls as among the 16 most Instagrammable places in US cities in 2018. Every second Saturday of each month, a community-wide art walk is held. Galleries, art studios, alternative spaces and showrooms open their doors to the public for art, music and refreshments.

WIND PATTERNS

Wind is a key factor when considering rooftop farming; it can affect plant growth both positively and negatively. Seedlings can grow sturdy when exposed to a light breeze, but some wind can cause more desiccation than sun exposure.

In order to provide natural lighting and save energy there needs to be a focus on when and where the sun will be placed year- round to best utilize the natural light. In regards to the wynwood arcade, the stronger sun rays will be entering the building mostly through the southern windows. When providing fresh options for the public, there is a need for direct sunlight in order to provide crops with solar radiation. This allows the crops to grow efficiently.

With the already large list of extraneous variables that architects have to keep in mind, weather is another detail that has to be considered. South Florida experiences mostly hot and humid weather year-round besides the winter time, where the evenings become cooler. During Summer and Fall, the location experiences heavy precipitation, close to 8 inches. In regards to planning, activities will have to be organized with the weather in mind as well. These weather conditions have to be considered when choosing what type of product can be sold and grown, as well as when planning events for the users.

WATER USE REDUCTION:

To reduce water use, we intend on having a water circulation system to grow produce that will be regulated by a schedule and then filtered to be re-used for the next cycle of produce growth.

RENEWABLE ENERGY USE:

To grow our produce indoors, we will also use a solar powered, regulated system on a schedule to grow our produce in the indoor hydroponic section of the market. This same system will be used in some areas of the restaurant and market.

STORAGE AND COLLECTION OF RECYCLABLES:

In our facility, we will make it a point to only sell products that come in containers that can be reused or recycled; with that being said, we will have a section dedicated to collecting recyclables from consumers and implement an incentives system and educational component into our design.

MATERIAL SELECTION:

We will make it a point to use materials that are locally sourced and do not emit VOCs.

INNOVATION:

Our facility will use hydroponic and aquaponic technologies to grow produce on-site. We will also have an educational component on how and why these sustainable methods are beneficial.

INTERIOR LIGHTING:

Interior lighting in our market will be purposeful, unlike other markets and grocery stores; we will use focal and task lighting to enhance the user experience, sense of place, and product display instead of just using ambient lighting.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE:

To help reduce anxiety, we will control acoustics through the use of materials and spatial elements. We intend on making smaller spaces within the larger spaces to control noise as well and give the user privacy.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY:

Because our facility will be made up of non VOC-emitting materials along with the controlled growth of fresh produce indoors, it will have great indoor air quality.

IS When looking at the geographical features that make up Wynwood, there is an increase in traffic by foot and through vehicular transportation in the area. This is due to Wynwood being a popular location for both locals and tourists that are drawn by its artistic style and abundant nightlife. Because Wynwood is just now starting to incorporate mixed-use buildings into the neighborhood, our facility will be welcomed with open arms to both the locals who will make shopping and dining there a habit and to the out-of-towners that are looking for stimulation. When planning for both a traditional farm and a hydroponic farm, we must look into what can grow in what kinds of weather; whatever cannot be grown in the exterior environment will have to be reserved for the interior and more controlled environment. We must plan for materials, technology, and lighting to be highly controlled, since we are ultimately growing food and it must be managed very closely.

GUIDELINES + ASSESSMENTS

As far as goals coming from Wynwood’s architecture, we intend on creating several spaces as a sequence instead of one large, open floor plan to accentuate the multiple uses our facility will have. Wynwood’s repurposed warehouses will inspire our design to be adaptable. Wynwood’s street art will also inspire our design to educate and spark conversation through visual stimulation and complexity with layers of information.ynwood’s strong sense of community has also inspired us to create spaces that are shareable and serve more than one purpose. With Wynwood being a live-work-play community, our design will compliment this lifestyle by serving more than one purpose and being a mixed-use building.
