In the early 1960s, architect Hilario Candela designed the first venue ever built for powerboat racing: Miami Marine Stadium. An icon of mid-20th century Modernism, the stadium also hosted concerts, boxing matches, political rallies, and church services. A defining meeting place for the community, it was shuttered after Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida in 1992. Nevertheless, to its creator, the Marine Stadium remains an enduring source of pride.
