West Laboratory School, 1954
This is a cool little set of modernist buildings just off the University of Miami's main campus in Coral Gables. It is styled after the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
The structure is defined by exterior columns supporting a flat waffle panned concrete deck. The curtain wall is composed of aluminum tube mulls with Jalousie windows set between.
A great architecture master work it is not. As far as being adaptive to the Florida climate while retaining a true modernist theoretical disposition, it is rather successful.
