Sažetak
In the last 100+ years of world industrial development, all kinds of different industries were placed on the city shores, forming today's robust and grey waterfronts. Some waterfronts kept track with world challenges and changes while others were stepped over and forgotten. This paper will present two marine facilities with similar construction elements, but opposite exploitation purposes ; the Miami Marine Stadium and the Rijeka Torpedo Launch Pad Station. The first mentioned was the purpose-built facility in the mid 1960s with recognized architectural value, which was designed and constructed for the entertainment industry ; while the latter was the result of the modern approach of industrial research and development (R&D) processes during the period of 1930s and 1940s. Torpedo Launch Pad Station represents the peak of R&D process of torpedo industry, which was invented in Rijeka, where the emphasis was on functionality of the facility rather than esthetics. For the last several decades, both facilities were abandoned and left at the mercy of time and nature. Despite their age differences and reasons for their abandonment, these facilities can be compared. This paper will give such comparison as well as construction aspect of protection and reuse. These facilities are unique structures and important industrial heritage of the city of Miami and the city of Rijeka and must be saved for the future generations.
