It's only a matter of time before a three block stretch of Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami becomes one of the most architecturally important districts in the Americas.

This week's news that the AIA is relocating to the historic post office building in Downtown Miami serves as a good reminder that the Magic City is only about 116 years old. The "historic" label carries a much different meaning in these parts. Still, we may be guilty of not having preserved enough of our architectural gems.
