<strong>MiMo</strong> buildings were often designed in a playful and futuristic<br />

manner. This playful use of angles and lines embody the<br />

optimism of post-war America. Buildings were designed with<br />

vertical and horizontal projections, fins, boomerangs, wobbles<br />

to this post-war modern architectural vocabulary. Applied<br />

masonry elements often had marine or nautical themes.
