The University of Miami School of Architecture invites you to a Lecture, Exhibition and Book Signing celebrating the life of Marion Manley (1893-1984), Miami’s first female architect, successfully maintained an independent architectural practice in South Florida over much of the twentieth century. In this first comprehensive, illustrated work on Manley, School of Architecture Professors Carie Penabad and Catherine Lynn 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. Best known as one of the designers of the University of Miami campus, built just after the Second World War, Manley worked on other public buildings, including an addition to the John Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida. Her residential work is interesting as well - modest and rational, with careful consideration of regional characteristics and construction appropriate to the Florida landscape.
