迈阿密海洋体育馆面临命运抉择。这座1963年开放的中世纪野兽派建筑杰作[1]在2018年被列入美国国家历史地标登记簿[1],曾承办赛艇比赛和音乐演出等著名活动[1]。已故音乐人吉米·巴菲特曾在此演出[1],其女儿目前继续参与修复工作[1]。然而,该体育馆自1992年飓风安德鲁造成严重破坏后关闭[1],已废弃超过30年[1]。
迈阿密市民将在周二投票决定是否允许市政府与私营公司合作进行修复工程[1],使这一历史建筑重新成为娱乐场地[1]。修复费用不由纳税人承担[1]。建筑师理查德·海森博特尔指出,混凝土钢筋保护了结构安全[1],已获城市许可的施工文件已经完成[1]。
Miami residents are set to vote Tuesday on whether to allow the city government to partner with a private company to restore the Marine Stadium, a striking midcentury brutalist structure that has sat vacant for over 30 years [1]. The venue, which opened in 1963 and was added to the National Register of Historic Landmarks in 2018, suffered severe damage during Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and has remained closed since [1].
The stadium once hosted notable events ranging from speedboat racing to musical performances, including concerts by late musician Jimmy Buffett, whose daughter continues to be involved in restoration efforts [1]. If approved by voters, the restoration project will not require taxpayer funding, though the total cost of repairs has not been finalized [1]. According to architect Richard Heisenbottel, the structure's reinforced concrete has preserved its integrity, and construction documents already approved by the city are ready to move forward [1].
