Personal EducatIOn and History
Born in Habana, Cuba -25 January, 1953, Mariano Corral arrived in the United States on September 25, 1961.
In 1971 at the age of 18 years, Mariano Corral graduated from La Salle High school where he participated in various sports, but his passion was and
still is in the game of Chess. As an avid Chess player, he was ranked 3rd best in Miami Dade County Florida in 1969-1970. He believes that by
knowing the game it provides patience, planning, understanding of your opponent and the ability to look into the future as you would in the world of
design and business. He also loves history and he is constantly reading and researching and exploits it as one of the techniques to plan ahead.
Immediately upon graduation he began working with architect Ted Gottfried, AlA.
For two years he worked in various designs projects, from hospitals to multi-family residential to resort planning, before moving on to finish his
career at LSU in Landscape Architecture. "Everyone in the design field has to start somewhere and learn the basics of the real world". It was at
Gottfried's office where Mr. Corral learned about drafting, architectural design, collaboration with other discipline, and the politics that comes with
it. He continued his studies and working at the same time with several architects, landscape architects, engineering companies, and landscape
contractors to gain actual field experience and expand his career.
Mariano Corral received his Bachelor Degree in Landscape Architecture from Louisiana State University (LSU). He graduated in the top 10 of his
class. During his tenure at LSU, the college was ranked and still is today as the number one school in the nation for Landscape Architecture.
From this point he continued practicing his career in landscape architecture with the best company in the State of Florida and Louisiana such as:
Walter Taft Bradshaw & Assoc., Ft. Lauderdale, Edward Jenkins & Assoc., Louisiana, and Albert Perez & Assoc., Miami, Fla.
Mariano Corral obtained his licensure in 1981 in the State of Florida and in 1988 in the State of Kansas.
During this time, he was recognized for his innovative ideas and creativity in the planning of large-scale residential projects, urban design and
resorts. He has received numerous accolades and awards during he's 31 years of experience in the design field not only locally, but nationally and
internationally as well.
In 1982, Mariano Corral and Associates P .A., was established and becoming the fastest growing company in Landscape Architecture with a staff of
18 professionals within three years of operation.
Mr. Corral in 1987 obtained a certificate diploma in Golf Course Design from Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts.
It was in 1992 that Mr. Corral met Eddie Elias of Elias Enterprises along with the famous Puerto Rican golf professional, Juan "Chi Chi Rodriguez"
and a friendship was established and ultimately they selected Mr. Corral to be Chi Chi Rodriguez personal golf course architect.
Still to date Mr. Corral is the only Cuban-American in the world that designs golf courses. He has master planned communities and golf courses
in Florida, Bahamas, Ecuador, EI Salvador, Tenerife, Spain and Venezuela.
Mr. Corral has also had the pleasure of working with such notables GolfProlessionals as Jack Nicklaus (La Gorce Country Club, Miami Bt;a~h),
Johnny Miller (Binks Forrest, West Palm Beach), Tom Fazio, (Bonita Bay, Florida), and the PGA Tour Staff at Country Club of Miami.
Mariano Corral has left his traces in various States in America and abroad. These are: Illinois, Kansas, Florida, Louisiana, Eleuthera, Bahamas,
Tenerife, Spain, EI Salvador, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Venezuela
He has appeared in numerous television shows in Miami, South America, and in Spain as well in newspapers and in magazines locally and
internationally.
Mr. Corral has lecture in various cities throughout the USA and taught at Miami Dade Community College in plant materials and design. Mr. Corral
helps to promote the field of Landscape Architecture in high schools. He believes that by talking to young men and women at an early age he helps to
provide a bright future in the art and career of Landscape Architecture.
"Nothing is more important than our kids. They are our legacy and the future to our profession and country. It is our duty to help them and
provide guidance to become responsible adults and have a profession that they will be recognized for their contribution to society and enjoy for
the rest of their lives. "
Philosophy on Landscape Architecture and Golf Architecture .
Landscape Architecture is best described in the simplest term as the art of design and scientific knowledge which when combined will produce
organized open spaces for the use by man and his enjoyment while protecting the environment. Through the use of design creativity and technical
procedures, Landscape Architects must have knowledge in the cultural, science and political structure of the natural habitat to be able to apply his or
her skills for the management of the planned constructed elements. These skills encompass many factors such as: safety, aesthetics, construction,
technology, history, sociology, philosophy, soil science, plant and water sciences, horticultural practices, and energy conservation principles. Each
facet needs the other for a truly successful and enjoyable sustainable built environment of usable space.
Landscape Architecture has become such a specialized field in the last 35 years within the design community, that Landscape Architects are no
longer a lUXury but a necessity. "We must create sustainable environments which in the long run won't create a hardship for our kids in the future.
The world has become too small and the proper use of resources not only affects the environment here but throughout the world. We are now inter-
connected across the globe and we can no longer afford to be arrogant and selfish when it comes to protecting the planet". Each project iftreated as
its own Eco-system will provide a myriad of benefits that would eventually link with each other to create a regional sustainable environment.
Golf Course Architecture is the art and science of accumulating 18 individual expansive open spaces into one beautiful cohesive master piece
which integrates and respects the sensitivity of the surrounding environment for the pleasure and enjoyment of man.
Golf Course Architecture has evolved into a dynamic entity which requires extensive knowledge in marketing, agronomy, turf comprehension, soil
science, sociology, technology, and water science plus much more. In fact all the principles of Landscape Architecture can be applied in Golf
Architecture. "I see it as a huge park of approximately four (4) miles long which the lawn fairways are the pedestrian walkway which leads to a
progression of visual enjoyment at every tum only to end and asking for more".
Each designer has his own vision of paradise, achieving it is only a test of time which has been accomplished by such great architects as Seth Raynor,
Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie, George Crump, Harry S. Colt, A.W. Tillinghast, H. Chandler Egan, and of course Old Tom Morris.
Today, Golf Course Architecture and Landscape Architecture are an integral part of each other. One cannot exist without the other.
With humilIty and dedication, Mr. Corral is a master in the understanding 0.I.1(S customers and its processes. With experience in internationut work,
Mariano Corral, adapts to the situations in each country using the technology and designs of today. It is important to have an understanding of the
market for each country and the way people live, before introducing radical new ideas. By combining the new with the best of old ideas which people
can relate to, it won't be as shocking. Knowing the cost factors and what are and the availability of indigenous materials and how it is applied is just
as equally important, and that only comes from personal working experience.
Respect and personal relationship with customers are very important and equally with workers who are performing the physical work and have an
understanding "what are my ideas", and "what we are trying to accomplish in the end product". Arrogance will not lead to a better product, but team
work will always lead to success.
Supervision of projects is the key to success. Unsupervised projects cannot be guarantee it will show off the best final product.
"Concerns of security for the welfare of the public are one of my priorities". "Before starting a project, we try to anticipate potential concerns to
prevent dangerous situations for the welfare of the public. This also prevents any costs over runs".
Weare not perfect, but if we address, anticipate, and identify and eliminate at least 90% of the problems before beginning any designs and
construction work, that transfers to low costs in construction and a good return profit to the client.
"My ultimate goals and primary duties are for the benefit, enjoyment and protection of the general public and beneficial to my clients".
