Aqua | Miami Modern by the Sea

July 14, 2008 by Group

The revitalization of Miami’s South Beach Art Deco District as one of the great success stories of twentieth-century architecture and urban design. Beth Dunlop’s new book spotlights a modernist building boom that resulted to complement the existing Art Deco gems, with the development Aqua as the culmination of this urban transformation.

The brainchild of the developer Craig Robins, Aqua is the first New Urbanist community that features exclusively modernist work—with a star roster of architects, such as Alison Spear, Hariri & Hariri, and Alexander Gorlin. The result is an unprecedented residential enclave that combines the best of neo-traditional urbanism with cutting-edge modernist designs. In addition, specifically commissioned artwork by internationally renowned artists Richard Tuttle, Guillermo Kuitca, and Mark Handforth further engages the senses and activates Aqua’s community spaces. Aqua—a realized vision for living in both Miami Beach and beyond— provides a compelling model for the future of growing communities worldwide.

Photography for the book is by Steven Brooke whose work has appeared in many notable publications worldwide.
