they are talking about fashion design and she gets almost giddy. >> you know, your juices start flowing, you know, you kind of, it starts going like this goes with this and this happens with this. >> j. lo rocks the business side, ahead on sunday morning. >> tea time has a special meaning in florida, home to nearly 1,500 golf courses. design is an important part of any course from the large to the down right miniature, so of course bill geist has been checking it out. >> designing miniature golf courses may not be terribly important, but try telling that to the owners of barnicle bill's, a 50-year-old course that was washed away last fall by hurricane sandy. >> barnicle bill here gets back on his feet later on sunday morning. >> >> and at least just for starters. martha teichner looks up to birdhouses, finds an old neighborhood in china enjoying new life, and erin moriarty takes us on a tour of imaginative roof gardens and schlessinger shows us state of the art offices and more, but first let's go to don dahler in the newsroom for the sunday morning headlines. >> good morning, it is august 25th, 2013. in california, a massive wildfire continues to spread along the northwest edge of yosemite national park, the 203 square mile blaze is so large it is threatening the power and water supply to san francisco 200 miles to the west. in washington yesterday, president obama met

design. >> the city of miami wasn't incorporated until 1896. >> across the bay, an island known simply as the beach was a tangle of mangroves. >> but by the 1920s miami beach had become america's most fashionable destination, even the depression couldn't slow its growth, the hotels and homes sprouting up in the style of the day, art deco. >> still trend come and go and with the opening of miami beach's blue hotel in 1954 the art deco district seemed hopelessly dated, sliding into decay. >> freeze, miami vice! >> that is until a 1980s television show made a virtue of the city's predilection for vice. >> even the opening credits celebrated the new miami, a building with a hole in it, it is still there. >> i am going to miami. >> infused with energy and style from south america and the caribbean, the region is now billed as the capital of the americas and these days, a capital of design. >> i am going to miami. >> welcome to miami. >> long considered past their prime these art deco buildings of the 1930s are once again the pride of miami beach, fine examples of the principle of what is old is new and what is new is old. >> here with our cover story is tracy smith. >> grand central terminal stands as one of our great city landmarks, at least it stands as of this moment. >> it was built to stand for centuries. >> but my 1969, new york's grand central terminal was in trouble. >> tomorrow the landmarks preservation commission begins a hearing that could result in grand central terminal being sent the way of the brokaw mansions and the old penn state, remember them? >> ken barwick did and led an effort to save the old building from developers. >> one time they wanted to put three levels of bowling alleys in this room, an idea that happily got laughed out of town. >> bowling alleys? >> bowling alleys. >> but their big idea was to put a tower above this building that would destroy this room. >> this is what might have been, a high-rise office building rising out of the terminal's remains. >> after a major court battle and a little help from jacquelin onassis, grand central was saved. >> today, that decision seemed like a no-brainer, but in general, historic preservation is, at best, a tricky business. >> at this point, how do we decide what to save? >> we want to save the best of every period, ideally, we also want to protect certain kinds of neighborhoods, like beacon hill in boston or georgetown in washington, that is really important. paul goldberger is architecture critic for vanity fair. >> the dark underside of historic preservation is that we often preserve not so much because we love what we are protecting, it is because we fear what will replace it. >> and unfortunately, we have been right a lot of the times. >> those fears are justified. >> those fears are often justified. >> a case in point, madison square garden, which was built on the spot where the magnificent penn station once stood. >> they may not make them like they used to, but that doesn't mean no one is trying. >> this was nothing. i mean, you built this from the ground up. >> the buildings on this street in downtown new york are well over 100 years old, except for the one on the corner. >> it is nearly new, but built the old-fashioned way with old-fashioned bricks. >> all our bricks were -- dead stock, it means it is bricks that hadn't been used since mean 50, no exaggeration. >> roger stand ferre are founders of the design firm roman and williams to. >> do a really good brick building with wood windows right now, it is a breakthrough. >> and when the place was finished in 2009, people just thought it had always been there. >> when they took the scaffolding down we you thought you just cleaned the building. >> but you built it. >> from the ground up. >> in the age of glass buildings it evoke personality and permanence. >> we feel that we can build a building right now with current labor and materials that can last 400, 500 years without a problem. >> ironically, their first buildings were meant to be torn down, they built movie sets,ñi including this house for the 1998 film practical magic. >> 30 people have called us and said where is that house? i want that house, i want that house. i mean will is a whole web site devoted to the kitchen. >> now instead of designing things that last forever on film, they design buildings they hope will just plain last. >> how do you feel walking into this place? >> we love it. >> in may, the pair showed us an interior they designed for a restaurant using the same materials that might have been found when the building was built in the 1880s. >> the place was new, it only felt old. >> interesting walking through here it looks like this place has been here forever and yet it has been opened how many weeks? >> two. >> two weeks. >> roman williams, i think are really, really good at understanding what kind of industries value thing we have inside us that makes us respond to certain things, beautiful things that are sort of what you remember, but actually are really better, it is a more perfect version of the past. >> other critics have called their old-fashioned designs a passing trend, but stand ferre and alish who happen to be married to each other say their designs like their buildings are here to say. >> i think in three years ten people doing it and ten years 500 people doing it, design firms, i think it is a cultural shift that is going to last for a lontz time. >> and whether it is new built to old standards or an old building saved for a new generation, the effect is often the same, great buildings move us. >> historic architecture is part of our culture, it is just the way art, music, literature, i mean, these are all parts of our culture. >> architecture is the only one that is around us all the time every day, and that does its magic on us every day and so i think people really want the buildings that perform magic, that makes their heart stop for a moment to walk past them and make them feel good even though they may not have a reason to go inside. >> coming up in living color, by design. >> one of miami's architectural treasures is this gem from the 1960s, mccarthy building designed by gutierrez. now, the headquarters of the national young arts foundation, the building itself, like this james rosen painting remind us of the importance of color in design. susan spencer of 48 hours paints us a picture. >> when psychologist toby israel designed her kitchen, she included something that often stomps her, stumps her guests. >> do people walk in here and say oh, my god there is a tree in your kitchen. >> yes, that is somebody everybody has in their home. >> putting a tree in the kitchen may not be for everyone, but it is rooted in her idea that design should hark back to favorite places, because that makes us happier. >> trees meant to me as a child, i used to play for hours after school in a wonderful woods across the street from my house. >> psychologist israel specializes in design, spends time on her couch, and you will figure out what yours should look like. >> i personally am very dismayed when i see people just following kind of slavishly what they see in design magazines, because it is a look, as the trend, and it is not really about what is in people's minds and hearts and memories. >> we create worlds around us that are extensions of our inner life. >> psycho analyst mark gerald says the interplay between design and emotion sometimes even plays an accidental role in therapy. >> a patient might sitting in a psycho analyst's office for three or four years one day say, oh when did you get that new picture on the wall? and it turns out the picture has been there all along. that is part of the psycho analytic process that you are finding things that have been there all along, but were not available to awarenessñi .. >> gerald is also a photographer, and for a decade has taken pictures of colleague's offices all over the world. he has discovered a few psycho analysts who consciously use design as a tool of the trade. >> one of the analysts that i photographed, he has a sequence of images of the blasting of the atomic bomb. >> that would scare me to death. >> it might scare one person to death and another person might welcome something very eruptive in themselves. >> gerald prefers a much more soothing approach, starting with the walls. >> they have always been painted with benjamin moore sweet innocence. >> in a color that i find very conducive to my own analytic state of being, of being able to listen. >> just the color of the room can play a huge role in how we feel and act, paint the walls blue and studies show you may be more creative, paint them red and you may be more vigilant or even more sexy. change to green to calm yourself down. >> but if you really want something off the wall, paint those walls a certain shade of pink. >> it is the name of the color, very specific color and i have that color in front of me, as the very bright bubble gum pepto bismol pink. >> so bright it prompted adam attar assistant professor new york university stern school of business to write a book. >> there is a thoroughly obnoxious color. >> as the horrible color. >> no one likes the color. >> but it seems to have magical powers. >> in 1979, psychologists discover that painting prison cells with drunk tank pink was calm down even the rowdiest inmate, it worked in classrooms too. >> research has confirmed it is curious its curious effects. >> so they went and ran a study with 153 young, healthy men and they had them look at pieces of pink cardboard and when they looked at the pink cardboard almost all of them were significantly weaker when they gripped a hand grip measure. >> word spread quickly to the world of college football. >> even to this day, the university of iowa still has this visiting locker room painted in bright pink with porcelain, bright pink urinals and lockers the thought was at halftime or before the game when the visitors arrived they would be calmed and weakened by the color. >> but why does it work? >> some of the research cherz believe it is biological in origin there is something about the way this color interacts with our eyes and our brains and our physiology to weaken us. i think another alternative is that it is just based on the association, perhaps if you are a strong, healthy male it makes you think of perhaps femininity. >> so the next time you remodel you may want to rethink pink, reconsider that picture, reinstate that tree in the kitchen, and remember what is on your walls could decide what is on your mind. >> osgood: just ahead, thinking outside the cubicle. >> ñi >> osgood: how is this for an office? miami's famed book hardy building was a veritable cathedral of commerce, glade glass and all. >> not so for many of today's offices with, schlessinger looks at workspaces past and present. >> you may not know the company's name, but you almost certainly know herman miller's products, whether you know it or not. >> they have made millions of these chairs and some of the most iconic designs of the past century. >> this is a stand-up desk. >> the stand-up desk, this roll top is a very unique feature. >> brian walk search the ceo of herman miller which has such a storied history it maintains an archive. >> i hope my key works, right. >> there we go. >> these are the things the company wants to remember. >> they are all sort of recognizable. >> i have seen these chairs all over the place. >> but there are some things it might want to forget. >> this is where the office cubicle was developed. it all started innocently enough with a designer cause called bob proabs who came up with what he called the action office. >> you moved it, you changed it with you. >> what exactly is action office? i am walking through it right now. >> in 1972, a company filmed, promoted the action office as a place where workers could mingle with each other and the walls were supposed to be easily movable, even welcoming. >> all this in one office? why not all this in one office? >> businesses liked the part about the walls, not just the part about the flexibility. >> a lot of us in business want to have uniformity and a lot easier to make these follow the same pattern. >> and thus was born in the 70s the cubicle farm, squared off, monuments to no not any. >> the cubicle became reviled and ridiculed and the center piece of the dilbert comic strip. >> over the years, it became almost stylish to bash the stylish cube. >> few remarks about cubicles have been as eloquent as this. >> not all organizations are intelligent and progressive. they make little bitty cubicles and stuff people in them, barren rat hole places. >> the man who said that was robert proabs probes. >> do you which he hadn't said that. >> executive vice president of herman miller. >> no, but i think that is a very appropriate comment, because these tools, these systems are like a token that can be used in good and bad ways. >> after selling roughly $10 billion worth of cubicles, herman miller thinks it knows what is next, and it is a lot like what probst had in mind back in the sixties. >> this is their office. >> it is open, it is airy and there is not a cubicle in sight. >> parts of it look more like a living room or a starbucks than an office. >> nobody has a private office, nobody, not even the ceo. >> this is your office? >> this is my new corner office. i just moved in about two months ago. >> this summer, don gilman's engineers at herman miller have unveiled new looks for offices with walls that really are movable. >> and you can move it and as you need? >> boy, it really is light. look at this. >> and workplaces that are completely open. >> both physically and metaphorically you are tearing down walls. >> that's right. >> but herman miller knows what can happen to what seemed like great ideas. so it probably makes good business sense that in one whole section of their factory, they are still turning out cubicles. >> osgood: ahead, home design that is

men. >> the house boasts 34 rooms filled with antiques, all in all, an, a great retreat for mr. dearing that spent every winter here from 1916 to his death in 1925. it is now a museum, there are dozens of rooms could accommodate a very large family of many generations. of course, today's designers of multigenerational homes have to do it a lot less, anna werner shows us how they do it. >>

retired school teacher tom moser and his father lee. >> so you are right down the hall, lee? >> yeah. it is real close, right here. so we don't even lock the door. >> you trust them that much, huh? >> yeah, i trust him. >> tom moved into this 3,100 square foot home with his wife kristen last year, his father lee moved in too, to the separate but connected apartment. >> we have our separate places.
