The VisionDivision Miami Sun is a Solar Casino for Florida

— May 25, 2013 — Art & Design
This massive semicircle is the VisionDivision Miami Sun. The Swedish design firm (that would be VisionDivision) created this artificial sun for a contest held by the city of Miami. The city is currently looking for a new landmark near its Bayfront Park. VisionDivision is proposing an artificial sun that would also function as a casino.

The sun would change its hue throughout the day and would also mimic the look of the moon at night. The idea is quite ingenious, especially the part where it doubles as a casino. The casino would also allow those not interested in gambling to view the city from a spot unlike any other in Miami. Here’s hoping the city of Miami, or any other sun-drenched locale in North America, decides to build the VisionDivision Miami Sun.
Trend Themes
1. Artificial Sun - Creating artificial suns that change hue throughout the day and mimic moonlight at night offers opportunities for immersive experiences and unique attractions.
2. Solar Landmarks - Designing solar-powered landmarks that serve multiple purposes, such as functioning as casinos, provides innovative solutions for city development and tourism.
3. Urban Iconography - Exploring the use of bold and unconventional architectural designs as urban landmarks can redefine the visual identity of cities and attract visitors.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects and designers can take advantage of the trend of creating artificial suns and solar-powered landmarks to offer innovative and visually striking solutions for city development projects.
2. Casino & Entertainment - The casino industry can consider integrating unique attractions, such as artificial suns, into their entertainment offerings to provide visitors with unforgettable experiences and capitalize on the trend of immersive environments.
3. Tourism - The tourism industry can leverage the development of artificial suns and solar landmarks to promote cities as dynamic destinations that offer visually stunning and interactive attractions.
