To represent Wall Street, Tomoko Miho combined architecture and finance, creating the skyscrapers from blocks of glass and printed stock-price listings. Miho’s work champions both modernism and minimalism and was largely influenced by the Swiss International Style, which she learned about on a months-long trip to Europe in 1960. There, she met prominent designers Giovanni Pintori, Hans Erni, Herbert Leupin, and Ristomatti Ratia.
