Summary:
The phenomenon we know as "The Hamptons" — the epitome of high society, leisure, and affluence, the place of worldly glamour and every pleasure, natural and unnatural, that money can buy — began as a group of Puritan villages along Long Island's south shore before it was discovered at the end of the 19th century by artists and the fashionably rich. The earliest social Hamptonites, descendents of colonial aristocracy, mingled with the colorful characters of the art colonies. Here the rich built fashionable and expansive summer houses where they enjoyed carefree recreation, artistic endeavors, and elegant social occasions. "Houses of the Hamptons, 1880-1930", explores more than 30 houses, many designed by some of America's leading architects. Less enamored with the showy grandeur typical of Newport's golden age, the wealthy Hamptonites built summer places that were an ensemble of exceptional architectural variety and achievement. Here, American Colonial, half-timbered Tudor, and red brick Georgian vied with shingled cottages and Mediterranean fantasy.

Summary:
Miami is a world-renowned, cosmopolitan city with an architectural history to match. Its many treasures include not only Miami Beach's Art Deco buildings and Coral Gables, but also the houses and commercial buildings of the immediate postwar era, tropical vernacular architecture, mid-century modernism, and avant-garde high-rise buildings on the waterfront. What all these creations have in common is the intention to allure, delight, and engage the imagination and senses. Indeed, many of Miami's architects have conceived of the city in theatrical terms-a city as stage set. This book covers both well-known masterpieces and the overlooked ones, featuring spectacular color photography as well as archival imagery. With a text that is superbly informed, Miami is at once a definitive scholarly work and a seductive compendium of the area's fabled architecture.
