Miami modernist architecture...or MiMo as the regional style of architecture developed in South Florida during the post-war period...the style was internationally recognized as a regionalist response to the international style...it can be seen in most of the larger Miami Beach resorts built after the great depression...because MiMo styling was not just a response to the international architectural movements but also to client demands...themes of glamour...fun...and material excess were added to the otherwise stark...minimalist...and efficient styles of the era...the style can be most observed today in middle and upper Miami Beach along Collins Avenue...as well as Biscayne Boulevard corridor starting from around midtown through the Design District and into the upper eastside...the term MiMo has more recently been associated with the style...most popular ideas of MiMo are the Fountainbleau Hotel...Eden Roc...Seacoast Towers...Deauville...Di Lido hotels by famed architect Morris Lapidus...Norman Gillers 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 the work of younger architects immediately after the war...they were more closely aligned with the media promotions and sensationalism than older architects of the era...the region successfully transposed its extravagant resort styling to a national audience easily captivated by the areas relative exoticism...
