Commissioned research: what could the Vizcaya Village outbuildings hold without touching what they are?
The working village across from the museum gardens: garages, barns, and staff buildings a century old, sitting low in the flood plain.
Existing masonry · Removable steel decks · Lime render · Storm-rated fabric
Four scenarios, from archive to teaching kitchen, all sharing one rule: everything new must come out in a week, and the water must be allowed in. The studies price each scenario against its storm posture.
Published as a public report with the museum; two of the four scenarios entered the county's capital plan.
Unbuilt. Until the site breaks ground, the blueprint is the manifest: the drawings above are the current state of the truth.
Set to solar time.
