David Beckham’s Miami MLS Stadium

A challenge was issued to the teams in the program
to create a design for the much-talked about sports
venue. Leading my team, we conceptually visualized
every aspect of this project. We delivered the
winning design and presentation.

Our strong presentation and award were publicized
in various media outlets, including a segment on
CBS Miami. I was interviewed for my leadership
in developing such a project while in High School.
Further articles were written by outlets such as the
Coral Springs Talk newspaper.

Brandon Powell of Coral Springs, wowed the audience with his innovative use of a computer simulated wind tunnel to optimize the structure of the proposed soccer stadium at the recent ACE (Architecture Construction and Engineering) Mentor Program in Broward County. In the contest, various teams in the program were issued a challenge to create a design for the much-talked about sports venue. 

For Powell, who just graduated from J.P. Taravella and will soon be heading to Florida International University, the project was both exciting and motivating.

“We took this task very seriously,” he said. “I think what set us apart was our reveal video, where we showcased a photo realistic moving rendering of our design.  We also garnered credit for our computer simulated wind tunnel, where we studied where and how wind travels over the orientation of the building. This will help tremendously in optimizing the building’s structure for hurricanes, but we also incorporated wind vents to internally cool the building which will save money through reduced air conditioning bills.”
