Book Review of Tropical Deco : The Architecture and Design of Old Miami Beach

Tropical Deco : The Architecture and Design of Old Miami Beach


As someone who was actually born on Miami Beach in 1952, and raised in, and around, Miami Beach (Central Beach Elementary, North Miami High), this book made me very nostalgic. As a trained architect, whose specialty was modern and contemporary design, this book made me very nostalgic! I applaud those seeking to preserve what's left of Miami Beach's Art Deco buildings, many of which were allowed to seriously deteriorate during the 60's and 70's.
