end in 1978 to showcase the beautiful Art Deco buildings of South Beach and bring commerce back to Ocean Drive in order to save Miami Beach’s architectural heritage for future generations. This early work by MDPL was the catalyst that created the vibrant, worldclass city we live in today.

Today, Art Deco Weekend has grown into a wonderful community cultural festival celebrating Miami’s architecture, history, art and entertainment. It also continues its mission to educate our neighbors about preservation and continues
MDPL’s advocacy work to preserve and protect not only the Art Deco Historic District, but also to move forward other important preservation and community efforts.

Can You Imagine Miami Beach Without the art deco buildings on Ocean Drive? .....................................................................................
This year, the Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) celebrates the 41st annual Art Deco Weekend. Art Deco Weekend was created to showcase the beautiful Art Deco buildings of South Beach and bring commerce back to Ocean Drive in order to save Miami Beach’s architectural heritage for future generations. This early work by MDPL was the catalyst that created the vibrant, world-class city we live in today. Art Deco Weekend raised awareness of many important issues within our community and was vital to MDPL’s numerous successful initiatives. For example, MDPL: • Saved the highest concentration of Art Deco buildings in one-square mile in the world, a total of nearly 1,200 buildings, through the creation of the Miami Beach Architectural Historic District (also known as the Art Deco Art Deco Weekend |
Historic District) • Placed the Art Deco Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, and thereby created our nation’s first metropolitan 20th century historic district • Spurred the adoption of the first Miami Beach Historic Preservation Ordinance • Was instrumental in the founding of the Historic Preservation Board of the City of Miami Beach • Was instrumental in the founding of the Design Review Board of the City of Miami Beach • Led the grassroots efforts for the designation of Miami Beach’s 12 Historic Preservation Districts • Led the grassroots efforts for the designation of many local buildings as Historic Preservation Sites, including the Old City Hall of Miami Beach (the city’s first Historic Preservation Site)

• Was instrumental in saving the Avery Smith House (Coral Rock House), one of the last remaining examples of this vernacular style • Limited rooftop additions to one story on Lincoln Road, helping to preserve its character as a pedestrian mall in the Miami Modern style • Was responsible for the establishment of Ocean Drive as a sidewalk café venue and development of the serpentine walk in Lummus Park • Received a special award from the Society of American Travel Writers for recognition in reviving tourism to Miami Beach through Historic Preservation • Was honored by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) with the rare AIA Presidential Citation • Founded the first Art Deco Society in the world • Founded the World Congress on Art Deco • Founded the National Coalition of Art Deco Societies and the International Coalition of Art Deco Societies • Founded the Art Deco Weekend community cultural festival, the oldest running festival in Miami Beach, which hosts over 150,000 locals and visitors each January for more than 85 events along Ocean Drive and in Lummus Park • Founded and operates the Art Deco Museum, which has annual visitation of 10,000 people • Operates the highest volume visitor center (Art Deco Welcome Center) in Greater Miami and The Beaches.

proximately 120,000 annually. • Operates the award-winning Art Deco Historic District Guided Walking Tours, taken by 8,000 visitors annually • Is developing a community resource on-line database which will contain the complete history and architectural features of each of the more than 1200 buildings in the Art Deco Historic District • Is partnering in the on-going Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project, an Art Deco Museum installation and community educational tool that records the stories of people who are part of the history of Miami Beach
Art Deco Weekend is MDPL’s gift to our wonderful city -- a community cultural festival celebrating Miami’s architecture, history, art, and entertainment in order to educate the community about preservation and continue MDPL’s advocacy work. This signature event is a major part of MDPL’s initiative to preserve, protect and promote historic preservation in the Art Deco Historic District and greater Miami.

♦ A little history Fienberg-Fisher comes in two parts, the 1920 building (Leroy D. Fienberg Elementary School) facing Washington Avenue done by H. George Fink and the 1936 building (Ida M. Fisher Junior High School) at 1424 Drexel done by August Geiger. The 1936 building was developed by the Works Progress Administration during the New Deal. Leroy D. Feinberg was the principal of the elementary school from 19621967. Ida M. Fisher was Carl Fisher’s mother. Both buildings have extensive Mediterranean Revival details: arched breezeways, iron work, red barrel tiles. The 1920 building was originally known as the Miami Beach Public School. Now the school, made up of these historic buildings which sit in the center of the Art Deco Historic District, is named Fienberg Fisher K-8. Art Deco Weekend |

♦ Moving Art Deco Forward • 11am Architects on Preservation and the Challenge of Development Carl Hersh/Kathy Barber Hersh | Miami Beach 2018
lecture series
Among the 105 interviews the Miami Beach Visual Memoirs project has completed several are with architects and developers who discuss preservation and development within the context of preserving Miami’s unique historic districts. We look at how architects and developers meet the challenge of adapting protected structures for preservation and development. Recognition and celebration of Art Deco requires maintenance and up-dating of protected structures and integration of modern architecture as part of the process. We’ll open up the conversation using clips from the archive to motivate the conversation and think about the future. The Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project is a joint project of MDPL and Close-Up Productions with funding under a grant from the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority.

resiliency & historic Resources in Miami Beach ..................................................................................... By Laura Weinstein-Berman
“
Miami Beach is adept at reinvention, branding, and promoting its own architectural identity. From a failed coconut plantation, “America’s Playground” blossomed. From the devastation of the 1926 “Great Miami” hurricane, one of the most impressive collections of 20th-century architecture rebuilt its identity. From the abandonment and increasing dilapidation of the 1970s/80s, the city’s activists and entrepreneurs created one of America’s most successful economic development projects through preservation and rehabilitation, despite fierce opposition from historically pro-development city officials. The next challenge will be to establish Miami Beach as a leader in resiliency and adapt to climate change while maintaining the city’s internationally recognizable architectural identity. An overall history of resilience can be patterned from the city’s inception to today. The entrepreneurial spirit and nimbleness of municipal government to enact policies based on economic development and tourism incentives are unparalleled in the state of Florida. In municipal discussions, Miami Beach functions almost as a sovereign island-nation, willing to seek solutions and demonstrate leadership in maintaining quality of life concerns, safeguarding historic resources, and continuing the desirability of real estate investments. As Art Deco Weekend |
Together, we are writing the textbook for addressing sea level rise, reducing our risks, and creating a vibrant and resilient city of tomorrow. Our creative and collective efforts today are the foundation for the future of Greater Miami and the Beaches.”
Susanne M. Torriente, Miami Beach’s Chief Resilience Officer, stated in the 100 Resilient Cities press release, “Together, we are writing the textbook for addressing sea level rise, reducing our risks, and creating a vibrant and resilient city of tomorrow. Our creative and collective efforts today are the foundation for the future of Greater Miami and the Beaches.” Miami Beach can be utilized as a case study to analyze the extent to which historic preservation has been utilized as a tool for economic and architectural revitalization. The Center for Resiliency and Sustainability at the Miami Design Preservation League aims to incorporate opportunities for these tools to integrate with future municipal improvements, leading Miami Beach to the forefront for new solutions between resiliency planning and historic resources.
