This thesis focuses on the Miami Marine stadium as a case study for the appropriation of abandoned space by graffiti writers and skateboarders. Buildings are in a constant state of flux and their use often goes beyond what the architect originally intended. Whether a sports stadium becomes a concert venue or an abandoned building becomes a make-shift skate park, the built environment is always subject to growth and change with the passing of time. Amongst these trends of change and adaptability lies graffiti, a typically unwelcomed appropriation of the built environment. Graffiti is often thought of as the first thing to go in a restoration project. This proposal challenges that notion and addresses its importance within a building’s timeline. It seeks to revitalize the building and its surrounding site in a way that caters to the new user groups that have claimed this space as their own. In doing so, this project is acknowledging the continual changes buildings can undergo, highlighting them and offering the opportunity for further change and growth. The final design is intended to cater to these new user groups which have claimed the space while also speaking to the overall timeline of the building. I chose to create a graffiti and skate park directly adjacent to the stadium which serves three main programmatic functions: surfaces for graffiti writing, surfaces for skating, and areas for parking (both covered and uncovered). These three functions are intended to reflect what this site has become since its abandonment: an empty parking lot, a graffiti penit, and an impromptu skate park.
