"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 post-war era, tropical vernacular architecture, Mid-Century Modernism, and avant-garde high-rise buildings on the waterfront. Miami: Mediterranean Splendor and Deco Dreams explores both well-known masterpieces and the often overlooked ones, featuring color photography as well as archival imagery."--Jacket.
