Beach<\/a> needed an architect to replace 36 lifeguard towers stretching from South Pointe Park to 86th Street, the choice was obvious: William Lane. After all, Lane\u2019s Miami-based firm had designed five lifeguard towers to replace those lost in Hurricane Andrew in 1992\u2014plus the architect had worked on the design of South Pointe Park itself in 2009 (with landscape designers Hargreaves Associates and Savino &amp; Miller Design Studio).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">If lifeguard towers are strictly utilitarian in other locales, mere practicality will not do for Miami Beach, an urban resort known all over the world for its MiMo (Miami Modernist) and Art Deco architecture. So, in 2015, Lane set to work on six tower types, each with its own unique flavor. (He completed the job in 2019.) Some are angular and look like sunbursts, while some have swooping forms that evoke the futurist Googie style that\u2019s part of Miami Beach\u2019s midcentury vernacular. The colors are aptly resplendent\u2014pink with green and orange accents, teal matched with royal blue and lime, dark purple with pale lavender and peach. Together, Lane notes, the colors suggest the <a href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/viewpoints\/what-is-queer-space-2\/\">LGBTQ+ pride flag<\/a>, a nod to Miami Beach\u2019s decades-long history as a gay haven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column article-header_content is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-B-9-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"orange and yellow lifeguard tower\" class=\"wp-image-98835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-B-9-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-B-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-B-9-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>After Hurricane Andrew hit Miami Beach in 1992, William Lane Architect designed five lifeguard towers to replace those lost in the storm\u2019s damage.

M. Pei, the towers are formally rigorous, yet they also feel spiritual, imbued with a life force and personality. \u201cThey are very much about animism and persona,\u201d Lane notes, citing the Moai figures on Easter Island as an inspiration. \u201cI was riffing on [Florida\u2019s] shotgun houses, Cracker homes, and Key West architecture. I was trying to translate that basic wood construction into something painterly and sculptural, sort of like sentinels looking out to sea.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1442\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-A-4.jpg\" alt=\"Purple lifeguard tower\" class=\"wp-image-98836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-A-4.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-A-4-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-A-4-1024x738.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-A-4-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-A-4-1536x1107.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption>COURTESY WILLIAM LANE ARCHITECT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group none\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"comment size-regular\">Would you like to comment on this article?
