A walkthrough and history of Bayfront Park in Miami (4K)

[@hobiecat1736]

Thank you for the excellent tour of Bayside Park. Although I have been to Bayside Marketplace and the Intercontinental Hotel, I never really walked the park. I really appreciate your information on the four Isamu Noguchi designed works in the park. It is sad that two of the Noguchi works, the fountain and the laser sculpture, were in disrepair at the time of this video. I have no idea what the status is now, since I live outside of Miami. The 1985 New York Times article that you referenced here was a very interesting read. I can only imagine the political and popular opposition to removing the prominent white marble library building as required by Mr. Noguchi's vision for the park. One more interesting piece of Bayfront Park history that I cannot find any useful information on, is that in 1997, a Sister Park or Twinning Agreement was established between Miami's Bayfront Park and Sapporo, Japan's Moerenuma Park, that was also designed by Mr. Isamu Noguchi. The information about this international sister park agreement is almost nonexistent. Thank you for your well thought out and informative video.

My pleasure. I was a little surprised to find that KZbin was full of walks through the park incidentally. Yet with almost no level of detail about any part of it. It's a park with a lot of history and yet very little of that is easily available online. I too was disappointed to find very little about Moerenuma Park. Cheers.

Love the commentary. Wish I had that history when visiting Miami in 2019..

Thanks a bunch. I did more research to create this video than any of the others to date. I'm glad some people want that level of detail. Cheers.

Who remembers when Shania Twain did her Winter Break Special there in 2998 With Elton John and the Backstreet Boys?

Thank you ma'am! You might like my latest about the Miami Worldcenter too. Not as in-depth with history but still quite a few insights about the project that are not obvious.
