New Art Deco Museum, Miami Beach Centennial

The city of Miami Beach will celebrate its 100th birthday in March 2015. As part of the Centennial festivities, the city asked local historian and author, Seth Bramson, to write a history book about the city which he previewed at the newly opened Art Deco Museum on Ocean Drive. The museum, a project of the Miami Design Preservation League, will host lectures, tours and panel discussions during the centennial celebration. The museum, located 1001 Ocean Dr., showcases three major historic design styles in the Beach: Mediterranean Revival, Art Deco and Miami Modern (MiMo). The museum also features fashion, models of some of the city’s signature buildings and a Miami Beach Visual Memoirs project, that is, oral histories of people who have played a part in Miami Beach’s history.

Miami Downtown Expo Center and Hotel Approved

Miami commission approves downtown expo center, hotel
"... While the project, designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates, includes 350,000 square feet of meeting space, larger gathering areas are limited to a 100,000-square-foot exhibit hall, a 60,000-square-foot ballroom, and a 40,000-square-foot junior ballroom, which are stacked in three tiers. That’s part of the reason Miami Beach officials, who are redeveloping their larger facility in South Beach, are welcoming the new convention space into downtown as complementary rather than competitive. “It pales in comparison to the size of the Miami Beach Convention Center exhibit space, but for us it’s very large,” said architect Bruce Brosch. MDM needed the commission’s approval for the project Thursday because the design violated certain aspects of Miami’s zoning code. Commissioners granted exemptions that allow the developer to build out the expo center over most of the 4.7-acre site, and allow the 54-story hotel to be built as designed atop the pedestal..."

Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach, Classic Miami Beach Hotel

The original 1940-vintage Shelborne hotel was grand in its day, expanded in 1950 by the architect Morris Lapidus in the postwar building boom that lured vacationers to Miami Beach--

The upgraded property reopens Wednesday as the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach, featuring a restored floating staircase by Mr. Lapidus, a period fountain and refurbished terrazzo floors. All 200 rooms were remodeled in midcentury style, with geometric patterned carpets, undulating headboards and vintage photos. Aiming for a balance of contemporary and classic elements, the Shelborne will house a Morimoto restaurant from the chef Masaharu Morimoto, and a retro lounge, the Drawing Room, from the mixologist Albert Trummer, who gained notice for his work at Apotheke in New York.
