Art Deco, the visual art and architectural style popularized between WWI and WWII, has been described as a movement embracing the rise of technology during the industrial revolution. Hailing from France, the style hit Miami in the late 1920s and has maintained its place as one of the city’s greatest charms. From Calle Ocho to South Beach, here are ten of the most spectacular Art Deco buildings.⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #architecture #artdeco #miami #southbeach #pastel #aboutmyrecenttriptomiami

Inside the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, by architects Herzog & de Neuron play with Concrete and wood are used in different combinations, reflecting the outside materials of the building. With some raw colorless elements that remind me to their other museum that designed in London: the Tate Modern. The grayscale stairwell connects the ground floor with the galleries on the 2floor. ⠀ ⠀ -⠀ ⠀ #perezmuseum #perezartmuseum #architecture #miami #concrete #stairwell #black #aboutmyrecenttriptomiami

After that fabulous period, the 1970s and 1980s Miami saw a sharp decline in tourism as competition from newer destinations and relatively inexpensive international travel came into play. The temporary perception of Miami as a crime-infested area due to illegal drug traffic and refugee crisis also played a role in this decline. This period of time was best exemplified by the hit television series named “Miami Vice”. In the late 1970’s a local grassroots movement raised public awareness and lobbied City Hall to extend protection to all historic structures. In 1995 the Shorecrest hotel (built in 1940), in run down condition, were purchased by the City of Miami Beach in order to preserve them for future renovation, once a private developer could be found.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ -⠀ ⠀ #artdeco #architecture #sign #type #design #miami #aboutmyrecenttriptomiami
