Us-Miami Beach-Art Deco-Building

The Art Deco style renovated Park Central Hotel rises above Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida 26 September 2006. The city of Miami Beach has a concentration of over 800 Art Deco buildings all within one square mile. The white-and pastel-colored stucco buildings originally built in the 1920s have in the past two decades been restored to their former splendor. Some of the characteristics of the Art Deco movement in Miami include over-all symmetry, ziggurat (stepped) rooflines, glass block, decorative sculptural panels, eyebrows, round porthole windows, terrazzo floors, curved edges and corners, elements in groups of three and neon lighting used in both exteriors as well as interior spaces. The chamber of commerce for the city reports that some 7, 281, 200 visitors came to South Beach in 2004.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Art Deco style of Miami Beach, specifically highlighting the beautifully renovated Park Central Hotel. Standing tall above Ocean Drive, this architectural gem is just one of over 800 Art Deco buildings that can be found within a single square mile in Miami Beach. Originally constructed in the 1920s, these white-and-pastel-colored stucco structures have been meticulously restored to their former glory over the past two decades. The Art Deco movement in Miami is characterized by several distinct features including overall symmetry, ziggurat rooflines (stepped roofs), glass block elements, decorative sculptural panels, eyebrows (horizontal projections above windows), round porthole windows, terrazzo floors, curved edges and corners, groupings of three elements, and vibrant neon lighting both inside and outside the buildings. According to the city's chamber of commerce reports from 2004, an astounding number of 7.2 million visitors flocked to South Beach alone. This statistic speaks volumes about the allure and popularity of this unique architectural landscape. Photographed by Roberto Schmidt for Agence France-Presse (AFP), this horizontal image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Miami Beach's rich history and its commitment to preserving its cultural heritage through meticulous restoration efforts.
