SITE PLAN
When idle, the Miami Floating Stage is moored at the eastern radius point of Virginia Key Basin, becoming a landmark in the space of the Bay.
The stage is the core unit, designed to house all vital functions. Components may be securely stored on-board and can be deployed to support a broad range of performances. Electrical power can be generated and stored on-board or can be fed from shore. The stage is designed to be towed into place, as are the modular units that are stored in the dry-dock adjacent to the Marine Stadium.
Screens and shrouds may be used in a variety of combinations to accommodate the needs of performers and audiences.
The position of the stage in relation to the audience in Miami Marine Stadium can be fine-tuned by simply moving in or out. In order to minimize damage to the seabed, most events can be accommodated using pre-set anchorings, .
The open frame allows clear views from all seats. The inherent conflict between the long proportions of the stadium and the proximity required by a single focal point in certain stage performances can be mitigated by the use of screens.
