林肯大道1111街区的设计将城市居民与自然联系起来，为佛罗里达最重要步行街的使用者提供了有利位置和多功能区域。道路变成了林荫道路，水道变为沼泽地（受到水生植物的激发），创造了融合和环境，成为步行街广场的一个标本。林肯大道无机动车辆行驶区域创造了迈阿密海滩绝无仅有的城市空间变体。

Raymond Jungles、FASLA受雇于客户来主导林肯大道的最西边区域这个353英尺长、100英尺宽场地的景观设计，并与赫尔佐格和德梅隆合作。林肯大道1111街区立志成为大胆、简单而永恒的设计。Raymond被要求保持林肯大道上户外的热带购物和餐饮环境，与莫里斯拉皮德斯最初的设计想法相融合。他试图恢复本地佛罗里达风景为动物提供栖息地和避难所，同时起到教育游客的作用。设计的最终目标是创造一个健康、充满活力、持久的城市风景。

项目遇到了4个挑战。第一个挑战是场地规模与现有建筑的关系问题，大面积的建筑遮挡了场地冬日的阳光。因此，场地种植半落叶的活橡树和柏树，使广场在冬季能接受阳光照射，在夏季有树冠遮阴。第二个挑战是场地内从北端到南端的坡度变化Raymond Jungles想保持空间最大的可见性，因此不得不为水上花园设备创建一个接近7英尺的拱顶。第三个挑战是场地南端的高水平的地下水位。Raymond认为，只有耐盐蒲葵手掌和马拉巴栗适合这个场所。第四个也是最重要的挑战是设计获得迈阿密海滩文物保护委员会的批准。1100街区位于两个建筑区之间，被视为整体购物中心的无意义空间，因为它不再保留莫里斯拉皮德斯原始的设计特点。有鉴于此，Raymond受到设计元素的挑战和启发，与莫里斯拉皮德斯的想法产生共鸣，认为步行街是由于户外用餐区和零售空间的行人流量而变得有活力。

We have previously featured 1111 Lincoln Road by Herzog & de Meuron. We focused mostly on the building and interior design, but the landscape is equally note worthy and should not be missed. Raymond Jungles, the project’s landscape architect, generously shared with us the project from his perspective.

The design for 1111 Lincoln Road bridges the urban dweller with nature, affording vantage points and multi-functional areas for the users of this foremost pedestrian mall in Florida. The roadway turned greenway and waterway is an Everglades-inspired aquatic-infused environment where specimen Cypress trees anchor the “urban glade” within the pedestrian plaza. The re-pedestrianized block of Lincoln Road has created an unparalleled variant of civic space in Miami Beach.

Lincoln Road Mall, built in 1960, is located in Miami Beach, Florida, a 7.1 square mile island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. 1111 Lincoln Road is one block of a mile-long pedestrian mall consisting of a series of blocks running west from Alton Road to its eastern terminus at Washington Avenue, with each block bound by north/south street automobile crossings.The planning and design of 1111 Lincoln Road emerged from close assessment of the existing site conditions as well as the overall history of Lincoln Road Mall, originally designed by Carl Fisher in 1914, re-designed by Morris Lapidus in 1960, and once again re-designed by Ben Wood in 1994.

Raymond Jungles, FASLA, was hired by the client to lead the landscape design, in collaboration with Herzog & de Meuron, for this 353 feet long x 100 feet wide westernmost block of Lincoln Road. The design of 1111 Lincoln Road aspires to be bold, simple and timeless. Raymond was required to maintain compatibility with Morris Lapidus’ original vision of an outdoor tropical setting for shopping and dining on Lincoln Road. He sought to reinstate the native Florida landscape to provide habitat and shelter to animals, while educating the participant. The ultimate goal was to create a healthy, vibrant and enduring civic landscape for visitors and residents alike.

The first challenge was the relationship of scale to the existing buildings which block much of the daylight in the winter. As a result, semi-deciduous Live Oaks and Cypress trees were installed to allow sunshine within the plaza during the winter and to create protective shade during the summer. Silva Cell technology was utilized to supply additional soil volume for the mature tree material, approximately 400 cubic feet of additional bio retention soil per tree. The second challenge was the grade change from the north to the south ends of the site. Raymond Jungles wanted to maintain maximum visibility into and through the space, yet had to create an almost 7 foot high vault for the water garden equipment. By necessity, the design was confined to the linear character of the 1100 block of Lincoln Road Mall.

The third challenge was the high level of the water table on the south end of the site. Raymond determined that only salt-tolerant Sabal palms and pachira aquatica were suitable for that area. The fourth and most important challenge was gaining the approval of the design from the City of Miami Beach’s Historic Preservation Board. The 1100 block is located within two architectural districts and is considered non-contributing to the overall mall, as it no longer retains original Morris Lapidus’s design features. With that in mind, Raymond was challenged and inspired to design elements that were sympathetic to Morris Lapidus’s idea of a promenade animated by pedestrians flowing through outdoor dining areas and retail spaces.

The 1100 block of Lincoln Road, with its steady sun exposure through ubiquitous palm tree lined sidewalks and constant car traffic, was uninviting to locals and tourists alike. Now, the space is in motion with people, plant life and sound. It is an inviting green space exclusively for the living and breathing. 1111 Lincoln Road is structured by water gardens, planting areas and varying width stripes of Pedra Portuguesa pavement that act as an interface by extending and defining pedestrian movement and visibility for the existing retail businesses, restaurants and entertainment venues. The design cultivates an atmosphere of native Florida without losing a sense of distinction as a pedestrian mall.

A central open space is defined by a slightly raised platform, unique in architectural form and integrated in function, which creates flexible space for public gatherings, presentations and events. A variety of Florida native trees, palms and grasses recreate a sense of nature while providing a smooth transition between the building and human scale. The promenade, complete with commercial aspects of outdoor restaurant seating and retail stores, creates a unique visitor experience. Many shoppers find themselves spending more time browsing below the surface of the verdant water gardens than through store windows.

Curved, unpainted, polished concrete planter configurations echo the shape of the structures they surround, made with reinforced concrete rather than steel beams, facilitating the flexibility of the building envelope. A recirculating pump system drives the four water garden areas of 1111 Lincoln Road. Wetland planted areas have been utilized to aid in biofiltration and reduction of waste, with water intakes under the wetlands to encourage slow flow through plant media.

The plaza is a place for families to rest from a long walk or after a wonderful meal. The water gardens attract a child’s curiosity, unleashing their energy to twist around crooked Sabal palms and squeeze through mature Live Oak branches. Parents hoist their young up onto the concrete benches where they search and point at the small fish, turtles and the occasional heron on the hunt for nutrients. Although the project had been officially completed and the fee exhausted, Raymond still felt the garden was incomplete. A few local nurseries were willing to donate bromeliads and epiphytes for the Oak and Cypress canopies, which he personally tied to each and every limb. The eponymous water environments are symbolic of native ecosystems more than touristic preconceptions, formulated at a pedestrian scale and equipping 1111 Lincoln Road for future years of use.
