The competition site is bordered by Miami Beach to the east, the Miami River to the south, I-95 to the west and the 395 bridge to the north.  It is comprised of the downtown (city core), waterfront parks, Port of Miami and the Government Cut (a canal and basin connecting the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay). Although you can select your own site within the given area, you can not remove any existing buildings or infrastructure. You can, however, select any undeveloped parcels, park space, or even the waterways as the location for your intervention.  The competition rules also allow overlapping and building above, or below any existing buildings if necessary.
