Summary

Miami has long been known for its miles of sandy beaches and for the melting pot of Hispanic immigrants who reside in districts extending inland from Miami Beach. But the third most popular American city after Los Angeles and New York is also famous for its contemporary architecture. This guide provides a tour of residential design by renowned architects such as Ramon Pacheco, Pablo Uribe, Barry Sugarman, Alain Schuhmann and Santiago Bernal. The re-designs of houses in the landmark Art Deco district and the distinctive Latin-inspired interior design on view here have succeeded in making innovation the hallmark of Miami style. 400 pp., Paperback 400 color photographs Text in English, German, French and Spanish Cynthia Reschke is an editor and designer based in Barcelona.
