Description

---

Made in Miami Hecho en Miami is an alternative, bi-lingual guidebook of the city of Miami. Through the power of observation, it highlights the often overlooked experiences that make this multi-cultural city unique.

The book focuses on the documentation of buildings and spaces that emerge as a confluence of overlapping cultures to reveal a certain "Miami-ness" in the current built environment. In viewing a more prosaic or commonplace city, the book not only accepts Miami in its present condition but grounds the investigation in a sense of "realism" that reveals a reality that is far from ordinary.
The book contains essays, interviews, and a collection of 70 drawn examples and photographs organized along the following themes: Cross Cultural Urbanism; Tropical Infrastructure; Constructed Landscapes; The Search for Fantasy; Anonymous Architecture and Informality.
