Subtropic | An Evening with Max Strang at The Mayfair Hotel!

The work of STRANG is beautifully explored in this comprehensive monograph which highlights the firm’s site-specific and climate-driven designs. The ability to create stunning architectural designs while maintaining an acute awareness of the surrounding environment has come to define their work. Under the creative direction of Max Strang FAIA, the Miami-based firm continues to advance many of the timeless concepts set forth by the famed Sarasota School of Architecture. Strang’s early exposure to that mid-century modernism movement resulted in a deep respect for structures that are intimately connected to their surroundings as they celebrate the Florida climate.

This second monograph of Strang’s contains a collection of conceptual drawings, texts, and professional photography that underscores the ongoing relevance and importance of regional modernist design. It is the architectural responses to site and climate that infuse the specific designs with character and identity, resulting in a uniquely Floridian version of modernism.

Max Strang is the Founding Principal of STRANG. Through his work and discourse, he has consistently underscored the ongoing relevance and importance of regional modernism to an international audience. In 2016, Strang was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. He has also received the Silver Medal from the Miami Chapter of the AIA and the Medal of Honor for Design from the Florida Chapter of the AIA, the highest honors the respective organizations can bestow. Strang provides ongoing strategic and creative oversight to the firm and serves as an engaging mentor for its architects, designers and project managers.

Additionally, he has led design studios at the University of Miami, Florida International University and the University of Florida. Prior to launching the firm in 2001, Strang worked in the offices of Zaha Hadid and SHoP Architects. The architect of greatest influence, however, was Florida’s Gene Leedy, a pioneering member of the Sarasota School of Architecture. Strang was raised in a home designed by Leedy and later interned at his Winter Haven office. Strang is a graduate of the University of Florida and Columbia University.
