Tampa city in Florida has a rich diversity in architectural styles by the architects in Tampa. One can experience the history in one part of the town reflecting the Cuban-Spanish style, artistic 20th-century bungalow homes in one region, and modern development and skyscrapers in the other part, i.e. the downtown area. Tampa is divided into many neighborhoods, of which the well-known are the historic cities Ybor City and Hyde Park. The downtown area, which includes modern development, also boasts Florida’s few skyscrapers in the city, including the tallest building, 100 North Tampa. In Tampa, especially in the downtown, the residential development is prioritized, followed by offices, and the cultural spaces are comparatively lesser, most of the architects in Tampa have found work in the above mentioned building categories mostly.
