The Architects Who Built Miami

Fourteen of Miami’s 50 tallest buildings were designed by Arquitectonica, a firm whose aesthetic has become synonymous with the city’s image.

Throw a ball in some Miami neighborhoods, and chances are you might bounce it off of multiple buildings designed by Arquitectonica.

Some 200 of the firm’s projects, over a third of its portfolio, are located in Miami-Dade County or nearby. Since the firm’s founding in 1977, Arquitectonica has designed the federal courthouse, Dolphins stadium, Heat arena, two cruise terminals, a convention center, a handful of museums and even the city’s port tunnel entrance. Fourteen of Miami’s 50 tallest buildings are the firm’s projects.
