Does Miami have that beautiful art deco or is that south beach?
All of those pictures are in Miami. Speaking of South Beach though, and I don't want this to sound racist or snobby or anything but damn, its a shame that the beautiful neighborhood of South Beach has to host Memorial Day Weekend. Where the ghettoist of ghetto people come from different cities and states to Miami to party on SB for the weekend. Restaurant and store owners have been complaining about how they are trashing everything. I'm sure the NORMAL tourists are thinking "bad timing". It really makes Miami look horrible but luckily its only a week.
And it's not ALL of the black people, the normal classy black tourists are always welcome to South Beach, its the ghetto hoodrat pink weaves and tattoos everywhere acting crazy as hell black people that make it look bad.
Um technically not FIU is out in Sweetwater which likes almost all of Miami-Dade is Miami address but not Miami Proper. Miami Proper is only the downtown area. And 1111 Lincoln Road is in Miami Beach. Herzog and DeMeuron are doing the art museum in Miami proper but its not done yet so figured I'd post the one that is finished.
The Art Deco area is Miami Beach. South Beach is not a city its a neighborhood in Miami Beach, namely the Southern end from if memory serves me about 25th down to 5th and then its South Point another neighborhood in Miami Beach. North of 25th is Miami Beach until the Julia Tuttle and then you cross into North Miami Beach which is a city.
But then as noted some of those LA aren't in LA proper either like Louis Kahn's famous Salk Institute is in La Jolla but its close enough that if you live in the metro you easily see it so I think these places all count.
L.A. all the way! Frank Gehry, Morphosis, SCI-Arc along with old school modern classic architecture like the Lovell House, Frank Lloyd Wright classics like the Ennis House and the Freedman House, or early 1900's arts and crafts movement inspired bungalow houses designed by the Greene brothers. I love LA architecture! It's by far the best architecture city in the sunbelt cities.
The Salk Institute is in La Jolla, in my hometown of San Diego. A good 100 miles south of LA. It's a great piece of architecture though.
I've always loved the work of Arquitectonica down there in Miami though. They've created some innovative architecture.
Oops yeah wasn't thinking so put it in on google map and didn't realize La Jolla, CA brought up W La Jolla St some small road near Anaheim.
I should've realized La Jolla was closer to San Diego, my cousins live there. I've never been.
Hmm definitely puts Miami closer but I'd still give it to Los Angeles. Frank Gehry has just been to influential on the entire field to ignore. Arquitectonica is close in influence as well but its more for Urban Planning than their actual architecture work. Frank Gehry created Catia which led to BIM being the standard in architecture offices around the world. Arquitectonica on the other hand is the key player in New Urbanism...
I hate his Fish projects but the rest of his stuff is cool.
