MIMOA - We needed something like this

MIMOA, or Mi Modern Architecture, is a traveling Architect's dream come true. It's a website that posts locations and photos of the modern architecture in Europe. It launched last month, and as of now it is only a European thing, but hopefully will spread to the rest of the world.

In their own words:

"It is the best source of information for your city trip in Europe with all Modern Architecture in one view. MIMOA shows Europe’s Modern Architecture on a map with the address and all additional information you need to actually find and visit interiors, parks, public places, buildings and bridges."


Projects like this Purist building in Essen, Germany, by the Japanese architects Sanaa, that they designed for the Zollverein Design School (the map above is the location for this building). It's a part of the revitalization of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2001 as proof of the "evolution and decline of an essential industry over the past 150 years."
