“Architecture is the fixed scene of human affairs” posited the famous Italian architect and architecture theorist Aldo Rossi. Architecture gives humans a space where they can develop their life and relationships, act and – more simply – be. A space that shifts and transforms over time, that follows in the wake of change, and is in constant flow for – and with – the transformations of society, its people, and their needs. Could anything be truer to this idea than the architecture of Miami?
The vertical and luxury architecture of Miami: the luxury condos
Entirely new shapes have pervaded the city of Miami in recent years, guiding and inspiring a concept of architecture released from the past and projected into the future that has given rise to the vertical architecture of Miami. A strong but evanescent architecture, born in the ground and soring imposingly into space, bewitching with the forms created by internationally renowned, leading architects. Zaha Hadid, Bjarke Ingels, and Lord Norman Foster are just some of the most important names that have influenced the city of Miami. Their geometries have sought to give an identity to Florida’s most important city, defining it and conveying an idea of order and harmony through a single common thread that can be summed up in a single word: luxury. The luxury condos that pervade the city are true, tangible, and concrete expressions of the latter concept.
The famous architects have given the city an architecturally unparalleled skyline through creative thinking, daring design, and abstraction process expressed in the houses, apartments, mansions, and luxury homes of Miami.
Every building built in recent decades – or still under construction – in the Magic City of Miami asserts this concept of luxurious, vertical architecture that possesses a sinuous, refined, and, in many ways, futuristic appearance not limited just to public buildings or places of collective interest. This paradigm incorporates the logic of a lifestyle based on well-being, understood in the highest sense of the word, and that turns into a structured design that organically incorporates comforts of all kinds and types.
Complementing the now intrinsic and unique architecture of Miami’s luxury condos is a special focus on the surrounding environment. This ongoing commitment is creating buildings that are not just manifestations of a human artifact capable of being an extension and enrichment of the landscape as a whole.
Recenti luxury condos a Miami
