The jacket reads: "MIAMI documents the pioneering architecture and spectacular interiors of this exciting metropolis. Photographer Roberto Schezen, together with renowned architectural critic Beth Dunlop, explores Miami's great architectural treasures, from the well-known landmarks of the Villa Vizcaya and the Morris Lapidus apartment to lesser-known houses by such young architects as Teofilo Victoria, Jorge Hernandez, and Carlos Zapata. Beautifully illustrated with full colour photographs, this publication celebrates the full range of Miami's architectural landscape, from the Mediterranean and Caribbean styles to the earliest days of Modernism. The achievements of some of the city's brilliant new architects, houses that pay homage to the legacy of the Mediterranean, are very much part of Miami's character today. This exceptional book traces the history of Miami's architecture-drawn from the rich mix of stylistic sources and the theatrical inspirations of its architects-and looks at the role and influence of private houses in creating the larger sense of the city. Schezen has conceived of this volume as an ode both to the important works of the past and to the exemplary architecture of the present."
