  • Thank you for adding this informative video clip! ... As a friend of modern architecture I find it very saddening that especially mid-century structures aren't valued higher by most local governments ... So many buildings of that era fall for '(re-)development', before the majority will realize what treasures were lost forever ...

  • You're very welcome! These buildings certainly are a treasure - Miami's new MiMo district shows that at least some people in our local government feel like they're worth preserving.

  • Can ayone help me out with the location of the former 'Copa City' nightclub? ... I understand it was later 'The Riviera' and is nowadays a self-storage site ... Any input would be greatly welcome ... Cheers, Julia

  • Yes, especally the MiMo on Bibo is worth visiting for everyone who visits or lives in Florida ... Just wished more of the smaller early to mid-20th century solitaire structures with historical, architectual value would be saved from the 'development' hysteria ... Once they are gone, they are gone ... I thought so many times, when I pass(ed) such in the greater Miami area *hollywood etc) ... Cheers, Julia

  • Randall Robinson's book on Mimo really is very good, and quite entertaining. It's hard to know what to think ultimately about this as a style, but it is clear, particularly in this video that it hangs together well as a style, and that is saying something. Seen from most art historic perspectives it has a bleakness, no arguing that. On the other hand, with the excellent perspective of the granddaughter, who said perceptively that is is about "getting away from it all",as escape from art, success
