Whether it is despite or thanks to Miami’s vertiginous development, it never found its feographical center and urban gravitational center. Therefore, Miami is composed of strips, avenues, suburbs and a small and weak “business center” which give incidence to verticality, rather than the enjoyment of the horizontal urban space coincident with the Atlantic horizon. Miami is bridges and viaducts, highways and Malls, small neighborhoods adjacent to private housings. As Los Angeles urban model, Miami has never encountered a functional civic space within its self-proclaimed center, which allows people to enjoy the proper “place spirit”.

Prologue
We, as a nation, have been looking at education, particularly technical education, as a means to satisfy the manpower needs of our planning. Real development of the nation springs from a well developed human resource. The new developments in Biotechnology, Space research, Microelectronics, the computers and all the rest of the Hi-tech will no doubt be of great help to the rural area. But this is not the most important need nor will it bring true development to our weaker sections. True development must put the people and their land on the development path so that thereafter they can contribute to development and not just be the beneficiaries.

Phase I:
The TOGS? International Ideas Competition generates innovative proposals for a temporary outdoor structure that will function simultaneously as an exhibition space and as an architectural exhibition.
Phase II: Build the Winner
While Phase I asks that entrants push the limits of the TOGS?, based on a feasibility study, the winner will be given the opportunity to collaborate with a professional team to realize a working proposal. Local codes and restrictions will apply and the TOGS? will need to meet any local laws where applicable. Budget restraints are not required for Phase I of the competition, but can be implemented if so desired.
