Surrounded Islands
(photograph of project based idea that surrounded eleven islands in Miami’s Biscayne Bay with pink polypropylene floating fabric)
For 2 weeks Surrounded Islands spreading over 11.3 kilometers (7 miles) was seen, approached and enjoyed by the public, from the causeways, the land, the water and the air. The luminous pink color of the shiny fabric was in harmony with the tropical vegetation of the uninhabited verdant island, the light of the Miami sky and the colors of the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay.

Downtown San Diego and other communities around the county contain many scattered empty lots, waiting for new development to add a home, office or other development. But what to do until owners and bankers are ready to act? James and Molly Enos offer one solution [in San Diego] near the corner of 15th and K streets.
They and a group of architecture students have outfitted a collection of metal container boxes with office furniture, computers and exhibit space; a mural on neighboring walls to add beauty; and a succulent garden to add some growing things. They call it “The Periscope Project”….
