Architecture in Miami

Miami is one of the fastest-evolving cities in the country. From the high-rises reshaping Brickell to the historic Art Deco facades lining South Beach, new development is changing the skyline while design-forward restoration keeps the city’s identity intact.

The city also moves fast. A completed tower in Brickell may sit next to an active construction site. A restored Art Deco hotel in the MiMo district might be flanked by scaffolding. Capturing architecture in Miami means understanding the pace of the city and knowing when a project is ready to be seen at its best.

These are challenges I’m familiar with from working in other fast-growing cities across the Southeast. The specifics change from place to place, but the discipline stays the same: study the conditions, plan around them, and show up when the building is ready.

This amphitheater is part of a larger shift happening across Birmingham. Investment in public venues and shared spaces that bring people together and pull activity into different parts of the city.
Photographing projects like this isn’t about making them look bigger than they are. It’s about showing how they fit into Birmingham as it exists right now.
