The event's purpose was to bring together the former and current members of Liberty Square, the first housing project for African-Americans in the Southern United States built as part of the “New Deal” under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. City of Miami officials paused in their deliberations of governance in order to honor and thank the Circle of Brotherhood for their efforts to improve the quality of life in Miami, a truly magical city that owes its unique character to the contributions of organizations such as theirs. 2) Mayor Regalado and Commissioner Gort presented a Proclamation to The Motivational Edge, Inc. (ME), an organization that uses culturally relevant arts as a motivational platform to inspire youth toward academic achievement, increased self-confidence and the building of essential life skills and provides youth with a creative outlet for self-expression, while at the same time integrating therapeutic components into its arts programs. By virtue of the Mayor's Office joined by Commissioner Gort thanked The Motivational Edge (ME) for undertaking such worthy endeavors and noble challenges, which so richly enhance the quality of life in the City of Miami, and as a measure of their well-founded appreciation, proclaimed Friday, July 29, 2016, as The Motivational Edge (ME) Day. 3) Mayor Regalado and Commissioner Gort paid the highest tribute to Alexander Star, saluting him for his inspiring and eminent career as lyrical expression instructor, vocal coach and Pro Tools engineer with twelve years experience in the recording industry. Mr. Star has worked as a professional songwriter and vocal production specialist with artists and producers throughout the world. His view is to catalyze a new wave of commercially successful music without having to promote prejudice based on ignorance, vulgarity, recklessness or negativity in whatever form. The City of Miami is grateful to Alexander Star for composing the jingle for the "Keep Miami Beautiful" campaign, and it is, therefore, fitting and appropriate that its elected leadership, on behalf of the citizens, paused in their deliberations to pay homage to Alexander Star and wish him continued success in all his endeavors. 4) Mayor Regalado and Commissioner Suarez paid a tribute to Linette De Los Santos, saluting her on just being named Miss Florida 2017 and so representing the Sunshine State at the Miss USA Pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey in September of next year. Ms. De Los Santos is expected to obtain a J.D. degree from Nova Southeastern University in May 2018 and is currently an intern at the Miami City Attorney's Office. She has organized and promoted fundraisers for underprivileged children, Thanksgiving baskets for families in need, championed awareness for the annual Relay for Life of Pembroke Pines and volunteered in two programs for pediatric cancer patients. City of Miami officials, on behalf of the citizens and residents of the City of Miami, paused in their deliberations of governance in order to honor Linette De Los Santos for her many achievements as well as wish her ongoing success in all her future endeavors, especially in the 2017 Miss USA Pageant. 5) Mayor Regalado and Chair Hardemon presented Certificates of Merit to the Miami Tornadoes Track & Field Team for participating in the City of Miami Mayor's Track Meet. The Miami Tornadoes Track & Field Program utilizes the sport of track & field to draw the attention of children and juveniles between the ages of four and eighteen and was put together in order to give them the opportunity to engage in wholesome activities while keeping them off the streets. The program includes colloquia on education, gang resistance, culinary arts, etiquette and non-violence. The elected leadership of the City of Miami paused in their deliberations of governance in order to honor and commend the Miami Tornadoes Track & Field Team's commitment to elevate the quality of life in Miami, a truly magical city that owes its wonderfully unique character and vitality to the generosity and allegiance of organizations such as theirs.

  • Preserving the Miami Marine Stadium (1962-64): Tropical Brutalism, Society of Leisure, and Ethnic Identity
    X SEMINÁRIO DOCOMOMO BRASIL ARQUITETURA MODERNA E INTERNACIONAL: conexões brutalistas 1955-75 Curitiba. 15-18.out.2013 - PUCPR PRESERVING THE MIAMI MARINE STADIUM (1962-64): TROPICAL BRUTALISM, SOCIETY OF LEISURE, AND ETHNIC IDENTITY Jean-François Lejeune Acting President DOCOMOMO-US/FL Professor University of Miami School of Architecture [email protected] ABSTRACT Beginning in the 1930s in Southern Europe and spreading later in Latin America, a series of sport facilities were built in which the plastic and structural qualities of poured-in-place concrete were exploited to great visual and functional effect by architects like Pier Luigi Nervi, Eduardo Torroja, or Carlos Raúl Villanueva. All these buildings were part of a heroic period in the development of a Latin/Mediterranean approach and understanding of concrete, which contrasted with the rationalist canons of the International Style. Pier Luigi Nervi’s affirmation that every concrete structure constitutes “an organism within which all internal constraints are propagated and transmitted from a nervure to another” is not without paralleling the overall structure of the human body. Many of the structures mentioned above were indeed characterized by poured-in-place concrete and long-span cantilevered roofs whose expression of internal forces cannot be dissociated from the athlete’s muscles in tension. Less well known than its counterparts in Central and Latin America, and unique in the United States and in the world for its direct relation to a water stadium, the Miami Marine Stadium is a cast-in-place-concrete open building with a complex, multipart, paraboloid roof; it is 326-ft long and 108-foot with most of the widthcantilevered over the stands and the water stadium.
