Too Much is Never Enough

Morris Lapidus was a commercially successful American architect who, during the postwar years made a career in designing retail shops, hotels, and commercial spaces. He was the most sought-after hotel architect in Miami Beach during period of expansion and growth, and his most famous hotel is of course the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, which has recently undergone extensive renovations. Lapidus' name has become synonymous with the American consumerism and popular entertainment, and the title of his autobiography, "Too Much is Never Enough," captures his signature style.
