For Miami's inhabitants, the Miami River is known mostly as the place where they spend considerable time everyday sitting in their cars waiting for the drawbridges to open for ships to pass. The River is also the place that divides the city culturally, with, for instance, Little Havana on one side and Overtown on the other. These divisions reflect what the River signifies today: a "meantime" and a "meanspace," just like a border. Today, borders like this are taking up more and more of our time and space. We believe that in a maturing multicultural and semi-nomadic society, borders will become the most important public spaces of the future. They will be places where differences face each other and start to relate to each other, places that are now considered a waste of time can become spaces for pleasure and interaction. This is what we consider to be the big chance for the Miami River. With this idea we are leaving Miami with two final mini projects about the use of time and space along the Miami River.
