- Summary:
- Miami's South Beach, an international playground and urban neighborhood in one, is known throughout the world for its dazzling style. Casual, colorful, and sensuous, it draws artists, writers, and world travelers. This compact, color-drenched book is a panorama of South Beach architecture, interior, and garden design. Readers will find houses, penthouses, clubs, shops, museums, bay-front gardens, and courtyard landscapes. The senses of style range from resort glamour to the urban edge, and from the sublimely modern to the ridiculously hedonistic.
- The stunning photographs are illuminated by a foreword by South Beach's preeminent architect, Bernard Zyscovich, who explores "Sustainable Hedonism, " the South Beach formula for urban vitality. Laura Cerwinske describes the architectural history of the island, the creation of the Tropical Deco style, and the cultural evolution of South Beach.
