Ocean Drive  Art Deco

Ocean Drive + Art Deco

Miami Beach, FL

Miami Beach and Ocean Drive is a popular tourist area
and called the "Riviera of America".
The famous Art Deco district has historic buildings from the mid 1900s.

Art Deco is considered to be an elegant and modern style
of architecture.
*Notice the bright colors and geometric shapes.

There are Art Deco buildings in other cities, such as the Chrysler building in NY,
and other countries including Brazil, Argentina and Europe.

South Beach is the only official Art Deco Historic district in the US,
and there are hundreds of interesting buildings.
When it was renovated in the 1980s the plan was controversial.
Some people wanted to remove the historic buildings
and replace them with a concrete jungle.
(wall to wall buildings)

The renovation plan worked, and now it is a beautiful
and popular place!

Beautiful buildings!

Yes, there are many nice Art Deco buildings in Argentina, but they are most in Buenos Aires. It's far from where I live.

Have a good weekend my friend!

Thank you for the information.
I read that there are Art Deco buildings in Argentina.
Maybe someday you can take some photos.

Miami Beach is a beautiful place to visit!
I live within driving distance, but the time depends on the traffic.

Have a good weekend. : )

Thank you.

There was some wind and medium sized waves at the beach.
But the trees were dancing because the rain stopped
and it was a sunny holiday. : )

Have a good weekend.
