About the Book:

This publication contains a compilation of the work of Perkins&Will Miami since its inception in 1996. Drawing from its historic legacy, the Miami Studio developed its identity and high design brand based on a timeless critical regionalist philosophy, which continues to inform the projects both locally and internationally. Starting as a five-person office, the Studio has grown to a team of 70 architects, interior designers, and landscape professionals who have come together with a single vision of meaning and purpose.

The work ranges from one of the most visionary Corporate Headquarters in the country to a Hospital in Ghana; from the most important new Public Park in Florida to the largest Women’s University in the Middle East; from an Innovation Center in Rio de Janeiro to an Office Building in Wynwood. The book contains a series of interviews with the founding members and partners carrying the Studio into the future.\

 

About the Speaker:

Andres Viglucci covers urban affairs for the Miami Herald. He joined the newspaper’s staff in 1983 after a two-year stint at the Associated Press in New York and Miami. At the Herald, he was a key member of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize and the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Journalism from Harvard’s Kennedy School in 1999 for coverage of a fraud-marred Miami mayoral election. He was also a lead reporter on the Herald’s Pulitzer-winning coverage of the saga of Cuban rafter child Elian Gonzalez in 2000. As urban affairs writer, he has written about planning, development, architecture, historic preservation and affordable housing in Miami, among other topics.
