Orlando International Airport is the seventh-busiest airport in the country and serves as the transportation hub for visitors to nearby attractions, as well as business travelers. The area also has the second-fastest growing population among the nation’s 30 largest cities, which also contributed to the region’s ambitious investment in infrastructure in and around the airport. One of these infrastructure projects is a new south terminal at the airport that will help meet the needs of residents, visitors, and businesses throughout the region. When it opens this summer, the 1.3-million-square-foot South Terminal will be the world’s first LEED v4 airport campus, which will include a striking feature – the “prow”, a 66,000-lb arched element atop the roof entrance and cantilevered out 50 feet. MillerClapperton is fabricating 4,500 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project.

Property is still at a premium in Florida’s second largest city by population, and more people are flocking to the area every day, which has led to property being accumulated at an unprecedented rate. “The reality is there aren’t enough properties to go around as development lags mercilessly behind the population boom.” New buildings continue to rise and some of the biggest names in architecture have turned their attention to Miami with a wave of luxury buildings in an increasingly wealthy city. You can check out some of the newest towers below.

“Almost a century ago, the world was introduced to a new architectural typology that changed the entire construction industry. Starting off with the Home Insurance Building in 1885, leading to the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings in Manhattan, skyscrapers became a symbol of power and financial abundance. Soon enough, they were being constructed in almost every city across the world with state-of-the-art designs that defy engineering norms. But with all the changes taking place in the architecture practice, what does the future hold for these heavily criticized yet constantly developed buildings?”
