Architectural Wonders
Sarasota has its own renowned school of architecture,
but there is also a sense of reminiscence for classic style under historic protection.
And today’s Architecture in Sarasota presents a harmonious combination of
a sense of beauty and functionality.
Modern Architecture
While older style constructions abound, Sarasota continues to develop and evolve with modern time. A typical ultra-modern building is seen in the architecture of the Selby Library.
Today's Architecture
Sarasota has found out how to harmoniously blend grace and classic styles with modern functionality and comfort.
This philosophy is now generally pursued by many new constructions.
The new Ritz- Carlton is just one of many examples, where charm and character are faithfully maintained.
The Classics
The splendid Ca d'Zan, meaning "the House of John [Ringling]" in Venetian dialect, restored in its original splendor, is one of the gems of the City.
John Ringling, born in poverty, but blessed with entrepreneurial genius, lived the great American success story. As he had become wealthy he had this magnificent palazzo designed and built at a Sarasota prime location, on the Bay.
Reminiscence of the Past
Reminiscent of the past, buildings of a Mediterranean / Hispanic architecture add to the charm of Sarasota.
Modern and functional architecture, combining economics and safety
