SAT | Alfred Browning Parker: Inside the homes of Miami's Regional Modernist

South Florida is home to a distinct form of local modernism pioneered by Architect Alfred Browning Parker. Establishing his practice in the 1940s, Parker gained international attention by incorporating South Florida's unique geology into Modernist architecture and, at times, through the hands of his own personal craftsmanship. Participants will walk at least four of the most-intact Parker homes still standing, including what was once Miami-Dade County's largest waterfront property (the 1951 Caudle Residence) and an active construction site (the 1951 Baros Residence) to see an on-going restoration efforts. During the tour, participants will learn first-hand how local geologic material had been implemented into South Florida’s stringent building standards throughout the midcentury. 
 
The tour will be led by William Hamilton Arthur IV, AIA, NCARB, a third-generation architect in the city of Coral Gables and Principal Architect of WHAA.
