Miami Beach's Art Deco district is not one style but a family of styles from the same decade. The building on the left speaks in ornament: yellow fluted pilasters, a yellow eyebrow shade projecting above the window, the curvilinear vocabulary of classical decoration updated for the 1930s. The building on the right speaks in abstraction: horizontal bands of white stucco stepped against each other in the Streamline Moderne manner, the "speed lines" borrowed from automotive and aeronautical design applied to a South Beach facade. Both are Art Deco; both are unmistakably Miami Beach; both are doing something entirely different with the same decade's ideas. Shot together in a single frame against the Florida sky, they make the district's eclecticism visible — a neighborhood where every building had its own theory of what modern should look like.
