UM Lecture and Gallery Exhibition

Celebrate Architecture with the University of Miami School of Architecture!

The Miami Marine Stadium was designed by the firm of Pancoast, Ferendino, Grafton, Skeels and Burnham. Albert Ferendino and Hilario Candela were in charge of the project which was completed in 1964. Poured entirely of concrete, the stadium consists of a cantilevered roof supported by eight large slanted columns anchored to the ground through the grandstand... a magnificent example of the Modern Movement. It was thought that the structure was damaged beyond repair in 1992 by Hurricane Andrew. Engineering reports indicate the landmark stadium is in need of repairs and could once again become a venue for concerts, sporting events, etc.

Hear the speakers discuss the stadium, its history, its future and its significance to Miami. View the archival drawings, photographs and work of students and faculty in the Irvin Korach Architecture Gallery.
