Miami & Memphis

The site of this year's seven day Knight Fellowship Charrette was chosen today after two presentations outlining the Memphis and Austin proposals and lengthy discussion among the 12 fellows. We voted anonymously, and the first vote returned an overwhelming decision: Memphis! The proposals were very different - Austin is a 1600+ acre greenfield (undeveloped) development site at a soon to be completed highway interchange north of Austin, and Intown Memphis is a struggling community just east of downtown Memphis, located between two growing hospitals and struggling to overcome several tough issues.

A quick picture summary - here's the scene of the charrette training and Fellowship charrette presentations and discussion inside the beautiful new Leon Krier designed architecture building on Miami's campus. Lots of maps, photographs, schedules, and charts.


We spotted several toucans while walking to get coffee on Miami's campus:


This was the view from happy hour on Miami Beach yesterday after our program ended. Tough life.


We saw this boat (the little one) which had a helicopter, cigarette boat, Hummer, and Mini Cooper all on board. Insane.


A few pictures from the Miami Beach art deco architecture tour a few of us took yesterday:

Hey, I'm from Boston, don't expect me to know a toucan from a macaw! I just go by my fellow fellows' exotic bird classifications.

vigora lido spray is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It relaxes the blood vessels in the penis, thereby increasing blood flow on sexual stimulation. This helps to achieve and maintain a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
