Art Basel Miami Beach is going on right now so a few of us were talking about it in the office this week. If I had the time, I would have loved [to go back](http://brandondonnelly.com/post/134528589363/a-few-photos-from-art-basel) this year.

I think it’s great how Miami (Beach) seems to be infusing art, design, and culture into seemingly everything it does.  

[Here](http://www.wallpaper.com/video/architecture/faena-district-miami-beach-a-place-like-no-other#) is a really well done video tour of Miami’s Faena District (via Wallpaper\*). It’s definitely worth a watch. Screenshot below.

If you don’t know the story behind Alan Faena, you should also [read up](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/developer-alan-faena-is-the-wizard-of-miami-beach). He’s an Argentinian fashion designer turned real estate developer.
