The 2006 Design Patron Award recognizes Miami-based real estate developer Craig Robins. As part of his mission to integrate art and design into the local community, Robins has worked with architects and designers including Alexander Gorlin, Craig Konyk, Enrique Norten, and Alison Spear on his development projects. He was instrumental in bringing the Art Basel Fair to Miami in 2002, and his work developing the Miami Design District has brought new shops and showrooms to the city. One of Robin’s most recent projects is Aqua, a mixed-use development located on Allison Island in Miami Beach that incorporates architecture, design, and art.
