The architect responsible for designing the Miami-Dade County condominium that collapsed last month was previously suspended for designing other structures that toppled.
Documents from the Florida State Board of Architecture obtained by
the Real Deal, a South Florida real estate news outlet, said that sign pylons were an integral part of the structure of a Miami commercial building that collapsed during a 1965 hurricane built by
William Friedman, the same architect who designed the the Champlain Towers South condominium.
The documents stated that pylons were insufficient and grossly inadequate in withstanding the high wind pressure brought on by hurricanes which are frequent to the region and not in accordance with building code for the location or to accept standards of architectural practice in the board s decision to suspend Friedman.
