The best Art Deco gems in Miami

The Art Deco style found in Miami Beach is a product of many previous new ideas and movements: Cubism, de Stijl, Futurism, Expressionism and the Bauhaus.

Art Deco style was active in Europe from 1910 to 1935. In America, at the time, was active industrial design, fantasy of Hollywood movie, as well as some ideas of architects Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright  – who implemented the European ideas and created an Art Deco style uniquely American. All of these European and American forces are present in the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach.
