Résumé:
The latest work by Guy Lafranchi presents new projects for Brazil, Switzerland, Egypt, and Hawaii as well as a number of conceptual projects presented through drawings, paintings, and models. Lebbeus Woods writes of Lafranchi: "I regard his work as original both in substance and approach. The title "Urbanomad" refers to the problems of the past and globalization, problems that many architects talk about, but that only a few, such as Lafranchi, convert into architecture of the highest standard."

Résumé:
"MiMo : Miami Modern Revealed" is the first comprehensive survey of the rich postwar architecture that epitomizes the romance and energy that is Miami. Well-known for its revitalized South Beach Deco architecture, Miami's vibrant strain of modern architecture combines attention to space, form, and innovative design with a nuanced subtropical exoticism particular to the region, the gateway between the United States and Latin America. From humble motels to sprawling ocean-side resorts, this lively style also thrives in the city's civic, domestic, and commercial architecture. "MiMo" tracks the history and development of the Magic City from the days of nightclub acts and swank hotels to the advent of the crystalline downtown skyscrapers, including detailed overviews of work by Morris Lapidus, Gilbert Fein, and regional masters Alfred Browning Parker, Norman M. Giller, and others. Preservation-minded, the authors list the important buildings which did not survive decades of redevelopment, and conclude with a chapter on the effort to protect threatened MiMo masterpieces. Hundreds of recent and period photographs from the heyday of Miami glamour complete this celebration of some of the hottest architecture around.
