He treated them as tiny buildings rather than equipment: portholes, cantilevers, jazz-age geometry and colors pulled from the Art Deco District a few blocks inland. The city has kept commissioning new ones since, so the beach reads as a gallery of small pavilions stretching for miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a rare case of a city deciding that purely functional infrastructure should also be beautiful, and then actually paying for it. Nothing about saving a swimmer requires a porthole. Miami Beach added one anyway, and the towers became the most photographed objects on the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the crisp whites hold and the red stripe pops against a lit tree. The faceted edge throws light from any angle.
