This 250+ page, 11” by 11” book will be edited by the publishers of the South Florida Design Book Magazine with a foreword by Beth Dunlop, editor-in-chief of HOME Miami Magazine. Beth Dunlop is also the author of numerous books on architecture and is the contributing architecture critic of The Miami Herald.

This book is slated for release in mid 2010, however, immediate submissions are required. Once all the chapters have been assigned, the submittal window will close. Florida 100 will be available for purchase nationally. To provide additional exposure for the featured designers, 1000 copies will be sent to top developers in the country.
Individuals and firms are encouraged to enter. Built and unbuilt work is equally eligible for inclusion as long as it passes editorial review.
