Miami is a world-renowned, cosmopolitan city with an architectural history to match. Its many treasures include not only Miami Beach's Art Deco buildings and Coral Gables, but also the houses and commercial buildings of the immediate Postwar era, tropical vernacular architecture, mid-century modernism, and avantgarde high-rise buildings on the waterfront. What all these creations have in common is the intention to allure, delight, and engage the imagination and senses.
