Miami Modernist architecture or MiMo, is a regional style of architecture that developed in South Florida during the post-war period. The style was Internationally recognized as a regionalist response to the International Style and its origins can be found in most of the larger Miami and Miami Beach resorts built after the great depression. Because MiMo styling was a not just a response to international architectural movements but also client demands, themes of glamour, fun, and material excess to otherwise stark, minimalist, and efficient styles of the era became rooted. The style can be most-observed today in Middle and Upper Miami Beach along Collins Avenue, as well as, along the Biscayne Boulevard corridor starting from around Midtown, through the Design District and into the Upper Eastside. The term MiMo has only recently been associated with the style. Popularity of the term is credited to Miami Beach resident Randall C. Robinson and interior designer Teri D'Amico. Principal examples of MiMo include the Fontainebleau Hotel, Eden Roc, Seacoast Towers, Deauville, and Di Lido hotels by famed architect Morris Lapidus, Norman Giller's Carillon Hotel which was voted Miami Beach's "Hotel of the Year" in 1959, and the original Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida. To some degree, Miami developed the style through its rapid accumulation of younger architects immediately after the war, who were more closely aligned with media promotions and sensationalism than older architects of the era. The region successfully transposed its resort styling to a national audience who was easily captivated by the area’s relative exoticism.〔(Behind South Florida's MiMo Design Scene, by William H. Arthur. ) – Retrieved March 29, 2015〕 The area along Biscayne Boulevard is now the designated MiMo Biscayne Boulevard Historic District or more uniquely named "MiMo on BiBo", for "Miami Modern on Biscayne Boulevard". MiMo Historic District runs roughly from 50th Street to 77th Street along Biscayne Boulevard, although MiMo can be found heavily in the Design District and Midtown. Many annual festivals are held to promote MiMo architecture, such as "Cinco de MiMo" a play on "Cinco de Mayo" in early May. It is bounded by the Little River to the north, Bay Point Estates to the south, the Florida East Coast Railway to the west, and Biscayne Bay to the east.〔(District neighborhood, detailed profile )〕 The name is an acronym for Miami Modern Architecture. There are many examples of the architecture within the district. ==Gallery== Wiki-office.jpg|MiMo architecture along Miami's Biscayne Boulevard Lincoln Road Mall-6.jpg|MiMo architectural follies on Lincoln Road MiMo restaurant 20110218.jpg|Typical restaurant in the MiMo District 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miami Modern architecture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
