This year Miami has entrusted the international agency for competitions Arquitectum the “MIAMI 2009″ contest for a Pier Museum destined to become a new landmark of the city. Located at the end of Fifth Avenue and leading to South Beach in the Miami Beach Area, the museum is thought to be an “horizontal monument” to all the immigrants, particularly to the Cubans.

US Economy in Crisis

WORLD PRESS PHOTO OF THE YEAR 2008

“Following eviction, Detective Robert Kole of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office enters a home in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 26, following mortgage foreclosure and eviction.
He needs to check that the owners have vacated the premises, and that no weapons have been left lying around. Officers go in at gunpoint as a precaution, as many houses have been vandalized or occupied by squatters or drug addicts. Debt foreclosure and repossession of homes were early signs of the growing US economic crisis.”
