One of several site visits to Zaha Hadid’s 1000 Museum with my #MDCollege architecture students. The digitally fabricated glass fiber–reinforced concrete panels arrived at the Port of Miami from Dubai. They were hung on the concrete columns up to level 15. From levels 15-62 they became the formwork for the remainder of the poured columns, integrating them with the structure.

Final day - They all did a great job, and we had lots of fun too! #MDCollege

Special thanks to Jenifer Howard of the Howard Design Group for critiquing my Architectural Communications class @ Miami Dade College.

My #MDCollege Architectural Communications students at #MOADMDC at the newly renovated historic Freedom Tower where they are working on one-point, two-point and multi-point freehand perspectives.

When it comes to passing down #StoriesThatMatter to my #MDCollege architecture students about the early days of “Cocoanut Grove” — a.k.a. “Little Bahamas,” Kebo, Evangelist Street — the oldest residential street in all of Miami — and the buildings that define it, there is no better storyteller than Emmy Award-winning director, playwright, producer and Broadway performer — the amazing Cornelia Dozier, a.k.a. "Corky!"
