Art Deco Galore

22 06 2007

I was the ultimate tourist today. Camera in hand, I toured the Art Deco district of Miami Beach Florida. A lot of the smaller hotels looked to be in their original state. Not bad, considering some of them date back to the 1920’s. Each building had a unique style, showcasing the Art Deco architecture with long, thin forms and geometric shapes & patterns. I loved that the old buildings were either a stark white or a crazy intense color that screamed “look at me!”

Grand Towers

Marlin Hotel

Park Central Hotel

The biggest allure for me was the typography - very stylized, but clean at the same time.
