SUMMARY:From The Industrial Revolution to Art Deco—Connecting The Dots
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Joel Levine \nThe Industrial Revolution caused significant social changes to information processing and worker housing\, creating a need for new types of buildings. These needs were met by the new technologies of industrialization\, steel\, and reinforced concrete. Architects experimenting with these materials went on to create Art Deco and other innovative styles of architecture. \nThis presentation will explain the link between the disruptive social changes of the Industrial Revolution\, the technology provided by the Industrial Revolution\, and the creation of the Art Deco style. \nJoel Levine has collected radios for several decades\, focusing on the moderne styles of the 1930s and MiMo-inspired designs of the 1950s.  He has been an MDPL tour guide for ten years and has presented lectures at MDPL\, Art Deco Week in Napier New Zealand\, the African Association in Mauritius\, the Tel Aviv Art Deco Center\, Art Deco Society of the Palm Beaches\, and several condominium associations. He has served on the Board of Directors of MDPL since 2017 in various capacities and is the current Chair of the Board.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Histories of Mediterranean Revival Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Before Art Deco took hold\, the Mediterranean Revival architectural style put southeastern Florida on the map. This style\, now taken for granted in Florida\, was revolutionary at its introduction in the 1920s. For northerners accustomed to the Beaux Art behemoths of New York or Boston\, the colorful tilework and shaded courtyards in the “magic city” of Miami served as a portal to distant and exotic geographies. Through the Wolfsonian archives\, historian Emily Neumeier will introduce the architects and developers who popularized this style and uncover overlooked histories of race\, class\, and colonialism in Miami’s urban development. \nOrganized by the Wolfsonian-FIU and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register \n  \n  \nBanner: Postcard (detail)\, Sky Scraper Hotels on Miami’s Waterfront\, 1940.

While preservation encourages maintaining a property’s historic appearance\, climate change adaptation often requires change\, sometimes radical change\, to maintain the safety of a building and its occupants. \nAs the impacts of flooding and intense storms are increasing in prevalence\, property owners and communities are trying to balance their desire to increase resiliency in their communities\, while maintaining their historic character and sense of place. Property owners seek options to improve resilience in response to parcel vulnerability. At a community level\, municipalities are developing policies\, programs\, and requirements to address vulnerability on a larger scale\, often without considering the impacts on historic resources. \nTo specifically address the impacts of severe storms on the state’s historic resources\, Florida’s Division of Historical Resources\, the SHPO\, sought to prepare three guidance documents to address the impacts of severe storms. Going beyond a regulatory review\, the guidance relied heavily on information gained through site visits in in-person interviews with eighteen small to mid-sized communities across the state. The site visits provided a first-hand opportunity to document prior storm damage\, recovery efforts\, and vulnerability as well as the implementation of community-wide and property specific resiliency measures. The information gained during the site visits was compiled to serve as a reference for similar communities. The resulting guidance documents provide a holistic approach for three separate audiences: property owners\, municipalities\, and state agencies. They described flood and wind mitigation vulnerability and resiliency measures for historic buildings and archaeological sites\, and include an analysis of severe storms on tourism\, a key state industry. \nThe presentation will review the challenges of addressing flood and wind vulnerability across a wide geographic area. It will include a breakdown of the roles\, responsibilities\, and regulatory requirements of the owner\, federal\, state\, and local governments when addressing the mitigation of historic properties. \n  \nAbout the Speakers \nDominique M. Hawkins\, the founding principal of Preservation Design Partnership [PDP]\, was one of two individuals to complete dual Master’s Degrees in Architecture and Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania. After completing her degrees in 1992\, she apprenticed with two of the most respected preservation firms in the Mid-Atlantic Region and served as a Preservation Specialist with the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office. In 1995\, Dominique established Preservation Design Partnership [PDP] as a planning and design practice focusing exclusively on offering high-quality professional services for clients with nationally – significant historic sites and buildings. \nDominique’s nationally recognized and pioneering work in the understanding of the regulatory review process has been the foundation for preparing Design Guidelines for historic communities and districts throughout the country. Some examples are the 19 Historic Districts of New Orleans\, including the Vieux Carre [a.k.a. the French Quarter]\, a National Historic Landmark; Newton\, Massachusetts\, containing over thirty National Historic Districts; Oak Park\, Illinois\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, and Ft. Lauderdale\, Florida\, to name a few. Through this work\, Dominique has developed unique collaborative and public education skills in working with client groups\, stakeholders\, community leaders\, and the public in shaping projects\, achieving consensus\, and reaching conclusions in an effective manner. \nShe has authored the Flood Mitigation Guide: Maryland’s Historic Properties; Flood Mitigation Guide for Historic Properties and Elevation Design Guidelines for Historic Properties for the NJ Historic Preservation Office and the Historic Preservation Master Plan and Flood Mitigation Guidance for the City of St. Augustine\, Florida. She recently completed the Storm Guidance resource for Florida’s Division of Historical Resources which developed flood and storm mitigation guidance for property owners\, local governments\, and state entities. She is currently working with the community in Charleston to identify equitable resilience strategies. Her work has been recognized with several preservation and design awards. \nJennifer M. Wolfe\, AICP is a Preservation Planning Specialist with Preservation Design Partnership\, a heritage planning and architectural firm based in Philadelphia. Her previous work as the Historic Preservation Officer in St. Augustine included confronting the impacts of hurricanes and nuisance flooding with vulnerability studies and adaptation analysis. With PDP\, she worked on a statewide storm guidance document for all audiences and continues to engage other communities in similar challenges. Jennifer is Past President of the Board for the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation and a graduate of the University of Florida’s architectural preservation program.

SUMMARY:What in the World?! How Walt Created Disney World
DESCRIPTION:When Walt Disney realized cheap tourist traps were enveloping Disneyland\, he began a nationwide search for enough land to hold every dream he could imagine. What happened next would require a heightened degree of CIA-level secrecy for Disney’s undercover team\, which launched a misinformation campaign that included dummy corporations and secret transactions. However\, when a keen-eyed reporter cracked the code\, Disney was forced to show his hand. Audiences will be amazed to learn of subterfuge\, monumental innovations and engineering feats required to create a whole new world. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nGary McKechnie is a member of the Florida Humanities Speakers Bureau\, with presentations including this talk as well as ‘Sunshine State Soundtrack’ (a round-up of famous Florida-born musicians). McKechnie is a former stand-up comedian improv actor\, and author of the nation’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook\, Great American Motorcycle Tours\, and a two-time National Geographic author (USA 101 and Ten Best of Everything: National Parks). \nMcKechnie has written for Walt Disney World\, Fodor’s travel guides\, Rand McNally\, AOL\, People\, National Geographic Traveler\, the Washington Post\, Harley-Davidson\, Orlando magazine\, Florida magazine\, Chicago Tribune\, Atlanta Constitution\, Orlando Sentinel\, Miami Herald\, and United Airlines’ Hemispheres. \nAdditionally\, he is a two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award\, a member of the Society of America Travel Writers\, and covered back road destinations throughout the state as Visit Florida’s ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Insider. In 2014 he was selected by the Motorcycle Industry Council to appear as on-camera talent and chronicle the Cannon Ball Centennial Ride\, a 3\,450-mile cross-country motorcycle expedition. \nTogether with his wife\, Nancy Howell\, he owned and operated Mount Dora’s Coconut Cottage Inn from 2000-2018 and also teamed up to write ‘A Brief History of Mount Dora’ for the History Press. At sea\, he lectures on American travel\, culture\, and music aboard the Queen Mary 2\, Queen Victoria\, Queen Elizabeth\, and the ships of Seabourn and Silversea. As a community activist\, he initiated the drive to renovate the Mount Dora Community Building and created a 501(c)3 non-profit Mount Dora Community Building Foundation to aid in its operation. He also formed the non-profit Mabel Norris Reese Tribute Fund\, Inc. which was successful in crowd-sourcing the funds to create a monument to the courageous editor of the Mount Dora Topic who faced repeated death threats for her defense of civil rights during the 1950s. \nIn 2018 he ran as the Democratic candidate for Florida State Senate\, District 12. Most recently\, he initiated the successful drive to honor Desi Arnaz with a Florida Historic Marker which is scheduled to be unveiled in late 2023.

SUMMARY:Miami's Desi Arnaz: Achieving the American Dream
DESCRIPTION:In 1933\, Batista’s Cuban Revolution forced Desi Arnaz and his dad to flee to Miami\, where the penniless 16-year-old arrived without the ability to speak\, read\, or understand English. He cleaned canary cages\, laid tile\, and struggled to save money by sleeping in a warehouse. \nAt St. Patrick Catholic School\, Desi learned English\, practiced guitar\, and picked up the conga drum and after graduation played gigs at the Roney Plaza Hotel. In 1937 he was booked to open the 200-seat Park Avenue nightclub where it was quickly apparent Desi’s pick-up musicians couldn’t play the Latin rhythms Arnaz had promised. Afraid of being fired on his first night\, Arnaz recalled a hypnotic rhythm played at Cuban parties and quickly taught the musicians to play a cadence of ‘One-two-three-KICK!’ Beating his conga drum in time\, Desi shouted to the audience to follow him out of the Park Avenue and around Collins Park. The mania that followed what he called his ‘Dance of Desperation’ launched Arnaz into stardom and started ‘The Conga Craze’ in America. \nWhat followed were roles on Broadway\, motion pictures\, the formation of his own orchestra\, the production and ownership of ‘I Love Lucy’\, the creation of modern television\, and his purchase of RKO Studios. And it all started right here in Miami Beach. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nGary McKechnie is a member of the Florida Humanities Speakers Bureau\, with presentations including this talk as well as ‘Sunshine State Soundtrack’ (a round-up of famous Florida-born musicians). McKechnie is a former stand-up comedian improv actor\, and author of the nation’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook\, Great American Motorcycle Tours\, and a two-time National Geographic author (USA 101 and Ten Best of Everything: National Parks). \nMcKechnie has written for Walt Disney World\, Fodor’s travel guides\, Rand McNally\, AOL\, People\, National Geographic Traveler\, the Washington Post\, Harley-Davidson\, Orlando magazine\, Florida magazine\, Chicago Tribune\, Atlanta Constitution\, Orlando Sentinel\, Miami Herald\, and United Airlines’ Hemispheres. \nAdditionally\, he is a two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award\, a member of the Society of America Travel Writers\, and covered back road destinations throughout the state as Visit Florida’s ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Insider.

SUMMARY:Florida’s First Travelogue: A Spanish Shipwreck Survivor’s Memoir of Enslavement with the Calusa Tribe for 17 Years
DESCRIPTION:Hernando D’Escalante Fontaneda was 13 years old when he survived a shipwreck in Florida in 1549. He and his brother were sailing from their home in Cartagena to be educated in Salamanca\, Spain. In his memoir\, Fontaneda wrote that the Calusas enslaved him rather than martyring him\, like other shipwreck survivors\, because he obeyed their commands to sing and dance. Seventeen years later\, St. Augustine was founded and Fontaneda united with Governor Menendez to become his interpreter with Florida’s tribes for five years\, as he claimed to have learned most tribes’ languages during his captivity. Many names of places in modern Florida were first written in his memoir\, like “Mayaimi”\, “Ocale”\, “Apalache”\, “Tanpe”\, and more. His memoir describes the plants\, animals\, foods\, customs\, geography\, and other details of pre-Spanish Florida\, interwoven with personal stories and observations\, mainly to help Spain settle and colonize the new territory. Fontaneda’s observations about pre-Spanish Florida will be discussed in the lecture\, as well as the “New World” he lived in. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nStuart Reed is an attorney and mediator living in Miami Beach\, Florida. Reed opened his first solo office in 1997 in Miami Beach’s Historic City Hall. Soon after\, he became a member and chair of the Sierra Club’s Miami Group and the City of Miami Beach’s Marine Authority. Reed is currently a member of the City of Miami Beach’s Historic Preservation Board and was recently a member of the Miami Design Preservation League’s Board of Directors. \nBefore he attended law school at Florida State University from 1989-1992\, he worked for Miami Dade County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management as a pollution control inspector. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1988 with major studies in Environmental Sciences. In 2003\, he kayaked around the full circumference of Biscayne Bay with two friends\, which took 8 days. At that time\, he kayaked often and frequently wondered what life was like for the Tequesta tribe before the Spanish arrived\, with so much seafood and fresh water around Biscayne Bay. \nIn 2006\, he attended a lecture at the Wolfsonian Museum about the Tequesta tribe by Bob Carr\, the state’s chief archaeologist who was supervising the Miami Circle’s excavation. He said that almost everything we know about Florida before Spanish settlement came from Fontaneda’s memoirs. Since then\, learning about Fontaneda and the world he lived has been a passion for Reed. Says Reed: “His story is like a long-lost Spanish treasure that deserves to be shared with a wider audience.”

SUMMARY:The Miami Creation Myth: How We Tell South Florida's Stories
DESCRIPTION:Every great civilization\, from the Ancient Greeks to the Egyptians\, Sumerians\, and Norse had their gods\, villains\, and heroes. These millennia-old stories of love\, violence\, honor\, and betrayal passed people’s beliefs about themselves to subsequent generations. They were altered through incalculable tellings to better fit changing norms and political ends\, but the core messages remained. \nAndrew Otazo fervently believes that Miami\, being a globally unique amalgamation of so many cultures\, deserves its own legendary cycle. In his talk\, he will read two chapters from The Miami Creation Myth\, a book he authored that immerses its readers in a universe with its own\, often absurd\, deities\, rules\, and norms—much like the city on which it is based. These modern myths use humor to delve into the wonderful richness\, as well as endemic privilege and cultural misunderstandings\, prevalent in one of America’s most diverse cities. \nSpecifically\, the chapters will cover this Miami-based universe’s creation and how its different communities were founded and interacted with each other. Before each chapter\, Otazo will provide context on the history of Miami that served as the inspiration for the dramatizations found in the book. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nA native Miamian\, Andrew Otazo is a Cuban-American author who wrote a book titled The Miami Creation Myth. Andrew currently runs his own communications firm named ARO Communications which specializes in public relations strategy\, environmental\, social\, governance\, executive positioning\, and earned media. He previously worked at several international public relations agencies. \nAndrew served as the executive director of the Cuba Study Group\, where he advocated to policymakers on Capitol Hill. He published 17 academic publications that sold over 10\,000 copies to the world’s top universities\, graduate courses\, and corporations while a research associate at the Harvard Business School. Andrew also worked as a researcher at the Harvard Kennedy School and he helped implement U.S. foreign policy at the State Department. As Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s personal assistant\, he facilitated the decision-making process of one of the world’s highest-level policymakers. Andrew is a native Spanish speaker and proficient in Portuguese. \nAndrew removed 23\,000 pounds of trash from South Florida’s mangrove forests and ocean. He carried a 35-pound bag of mangrove trash (currently in History Miami’s permanent collection) the length of the 2019 Miami Marathon and led a team that hauled a 130-pound trash cart throughout the 2020 Miami Marathon. These efforts raised over $30\,500 to protect Miami’s coastal habitats. \nAndrew was named to Brickell Magazine’s Top 20 Under 40 List\, The New Tropic’s Locals to Know\, Local 10’s Most Treasured Citizen\, Miami’s Next Leader\, FAES Latino Leader in Politics\, and received two Proclamation from the Village of Key Biscayne. \nAndrew has lectured at the Harvard Law School\, Columbia Business School\, University of Miami\, Cornell\, Clemson\, Miami Dade College\, and local South Florida middle and high schools.

SUMMARY:Postwar Architectural Photography in South Florida and the Paradox of Pleasure
DESCRIPTION:Postwar photographers such as Ezra Stoller in New York and Julius Shulman in Southern California began working closely with mid-century architects\, capturing the clean lines of modern buildings\, and presenting them as progressive forms for ideal living enhanced by compelling landscapes and climates. Women photographers like Dorothea Lange and Berenice Abbott were also gaining attention through their anthropological and archaeological documentation. \nIn South Florida\, Marion Post Wolcott\, Samuel H. Gottscho\, and Max Waldman – all outsiders – were leading the way in capturing the changing cities\, buildings\, and landscapes of the region in the 1930s and 1940s. Among local photographers\, Gleason Waite Romer stood out as a formidable figure in South Florida and Cuba. \nBuilding on the work of these predecessors\, postwar photographers in South Florida such as Annette and Rudi Rada\, Jan Hankowski\, Joseph B. Brignolo\, and Klara Farkas\, among many others\, helped shape a vision of the built environment that coincided with the building boom that radically transformed the region into “The Capital of Vacationland.” \nThe paradox of all this new tourism of course was that the natural landscape that drew people to the region in the first place\, was transformed into a commercially conceived vision of an ideal landscape\, a utopian paradise with a comprehensive faith in technology\, construction\, and what John Dos Passos described so clearly in his 1936 book\, The Big Money\, as the dark side that underlined the pursuit of the American dream. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nVictor Deupi is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Miami School of Architecture. His research focuses on the Early Modern Spanish and Ibero-American world\, mid-20th-century Cuba\, and contemporary architecture. His books include Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome\, 1700-1759 (Routledge\, 2015)\, Transformations in Classical Architecture: New Directions in Research and Practice (Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers\, 2018)\, Emilio Sanchez in New York and Latin America (Routledge\, 2020)\, and Cuban Modernism: Mid-Century Architecture 1940-1970\, with Jean-Francois Lejeune (Birkhäuser Verlag\, 2021). Dr. Deupi was the President of the CINTAS Foundation from 2016-2018 and is currently the President of the DOCOMOMO US Florida Chapter.

SUMMARY:Dwell Time
DESCRIPTION:Based on her just-published memoir\, Dwell Time\, conservator Rosa Lowinger discusses preserving modern tropical buildings in Miami and Havana. From mosaics\, murals\, and decorative cast stone to terracotta and ironwork\, Lowinger will show how repairing the key elements of 20th-century tropical architecture serves as a metaphor for personal healing after loss\, particularly the loss of one’s home. Zoom in on local conservation projects carried out by Lowinger—including the Wolfsonian facade\, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens\, and Miami Marine Stadium—as a springboard for conversation about how immigrants become comfortable in new places and new homes. After the talk\, stay behind for a book signing with the author at The Wolfsonian Design Store. \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:The Florida House\, 1945-1965
DESCRIPTION:Often one story tall and built of concrete block—with a large screened-in porch\, Florida room (more commonly known today as a sunroom)\, louvered windows\, and carport—the Florida House became a popular vernacular form in South Florida after the Second World War. Not simply the result of builders copying designs by known architects like Igor Polevitzky and Paul Rudolph on the cheap\, the idea of the Florida House was cultivated by builders and developers hoping to lure northerners to the Sunshine State. Using colorful promotional materials and archival evidence\, scholar Anna Andrzejewski explores how these efforts were so successful that within a generation\, both coasts of South Florida were transformed into a sprawling suburban landscape. \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:Deco Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:The Wolfsonian–FIU is a treasure trove of materials from the period 1850–1950\, gathered from near and far. From the “frozen fountain” that once served as the facade of the Norris Theater in Pennsylvania to a Miami River bridge tender’s house\, many of the architectural features in the building have been repurposed to serve a new function. In this lecture\, Wolfsonian curator Lea Nickless will delve into the stories of these design elements (and collection objects) found in and around 1001 Washington Avenue—where did they come from\, and how did they end up in Miami Beach? \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:Saving Special Places and Building Better Communities: Smart Growth in Florida
DESCRIPTION:For more than half a century\, Florida has relied on growth and sprawling development to fuel its economy. Sadly\, we continue to experience the tragic consequences of this approach\, which has been likened by some to a “Ponzi scheme.” Today\, Florida continues to face the consequences of rapidly growing population coupled with the looming threats of sea level rise and intensifying climate events. 1000 Friends of Florida has served as a state growth management “watchdog” organization since the 1980s and continues today to educate and empower citizens in the community planning process. \nOur latest project\, Sea Level 2040/2070\, examines population growth and sea level rise trends\, and demonstrates how the conservation of more land\, the protection of our historic and cultural resources in our legacy downtown communities\, and by encouraging smarter growth and development we can safeguard our quality of life for generations to come. \nAbout the Speaker \nSince January 2020\, Haley Busch has worked for 1000 Friends of Florida to promote sustainable growth through collaboration with civic and conservation organizations statewide. She works to connect a new generation of Floridians with 1000 Friends’ mission and assists in planning local workshops and other outreach events statewide. Prior to working for 1000 Friends\, Haley was the Administrator for the Florida Conservation Coalition where she helped conservation leaders build consensus on policy solutions to Florida’s pressing environmental challenges. A Gainesville native\, Haley graduated from Eckerd College\, Phi Beta Kappa\, and obtained her master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Florida. Haley resides in St. Petersburg where she enjoys kayaking\, birdwatching and cycling Pinellas County’s trails and greenways.

SUMMARY:Islandia: The Miami Beach That Wasn't
DESCRIPTION:In 1962\, property owners incorporated The City of Islandia into Dade County. Encompassing 33 islands in Biscayne Bay\, Islandia had a population in the single digits. Property owners lobbied for multiple different causeways from Mainland South Florida to their island community. They platted subdivisions. Everything seemed to be on track for major development of these “Pearl Islands” as Ralph Munroe called them. But then\, the Federal Government decided to create Biscayne National Park instead. What can we learn from this rare tale of environmental success in South Florida? Jason Katz\, publisher of Islandia Journal\, will tell you all about it. \nJason Katz is the publisher of Islandia Journal\, a (sub)tropical periodical of regional myth\, folklore\, history\, and ecology. He is a contributing editor to Burnaway Magazine. Jason was born and raised in Miami.

SUMMARY:Dancing in the Age of Deco
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s and ’30s\, social dancing was more popular in America than at any other time in history. Dancing happened almost anywhere people got together\, infused with the same modern spirit that animated the art and architecture of the period. The popularity of dance created a vast infrastructure to support it\, from sumptuous dance palaces to nightclubs and many other building types\, often in the latest architectural styles. In this Art Deco Weekend talk\, historian and instructor Walter Nelson uses images and film from the era to capture this lost world of social dance\, correcting the very distorted view in today’s popular culture about how people danced in the past. \nOrganized by the Wolfsonian-FIU \nFree | Register
