Administrative history
Courses in architecture were first offered at the University of Miami as early as 1926, however programs in architecture and the allied arts did not survive the effects of the Great Miami Hurricane, and the Great Depression. Architectural engineering courses resurfaced under the auspices of the School of Engineering in the late 1940s following World War II, and by 1983, during President Thaddeus "Tad" Foote's administration, the Department of Architecture became independent from the School of Engineering developing into the School of Architecture proper. New campus quarters established at Building 49 (Dickinson Drive) and part of first floor of the adjacent Eaton student residences. The first Dean of the School was John Thomas Regan (1983-1989).

Scope and content
This publication accompanies the fall 2010 exhibition of Mark Hampton's work at the School of Architecture. The idea for the exhibition emerged from a symposium held at the School three years earlier, titled "Under the Sun: Sustainable Innovations and Traditions", organized by Professor Sonia Chao, Director of the Center for Urban and Community Design.
