This title focuses on a key architect in Florida's first building
boom. Marion Manley (1893-1984) was Maimi's first female architect
and successfully maintained an independent architectural practice
in south Florida over much of the twentieth century. In this first
comprehensive, illustrated work on Manley, Catherine Lynn and Carie
Penabad explore the relationship of Manley's work to her life and
to the broader historical moment of which she was a part, including
the overall development of the city of Miami. The book catalogs all
of Manley's known work, includes images and plans where available,
and provides detailed examinations of what the authors consider to
be her best, most emblematic work in each phase of her long career.
Best known as one of the designers of the innovative University of
Miami campus built just after the Second World War, Manley worked
on other public buildings that are less well known, including an
addition to the John Ringling Museum in Sarasota. Her residential
work is interesting as well: modest and rational, with careful
consideration of regional characteristics and construction
appropriate to the south Florida landscape. As noted architect
Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk remarks in her foreword, 'Understanding the
reduced circumstances of the provenance of these buildings and
their low-technology characteristics, such as rooms with cross
ventilation, large areas of shaded glass, and the almost tactile
relationship to the adjacent landscape, we must admire the legacy
of Marion Manley'.
