Dezeen x Miami Design Talks launches with live interview featuring Craig Robins
Miami Design District founder and CEO Craig Robins spoke to Dezeen about developing creative communities in an exclusive live interview to kick off our Dezeen x Miami Design Talks collaboration.
Hosted by Dezeen's editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, the interview was the first instalment in a series of conversations broadcast on Dezeen as part of Design Miami 2020.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year's Design Miami festival features a programme of digital events taking place alongside physical exhibitions and activities located within Miami Design District.
The Moore Building in Miami Design District
In 2000, Robins and his partner L Catterton began acquiring buildings in the then-neglected neighbourhood. The Miami Design District has since been developed into a shopping destination and hub for architecture and the arts. In 2005, Design Miami launched its inaugural fair at The Moore Building, a former furniture factory in the heart of the district, which was built in the 1920s.
Now, after fifteen years in another location, the festival returns to its original home for its 2020 edition.
