mimetic

The funky, carousel shape of the building is reminiscent of mimetic, or programmatic, architecture that began cropping up in Los Angeles in the early 20th century.

Our big, warm climate and our wide-open spaces made possible something that earned its own genre: mimetic architecture, whimsical buildings that look like something else, often the thing that they sell.

Prince, a professor in Waterloo's Department of Chemical Engineering, utilized these human-tissue mimetic hydrogels to promote the growth of small-scale tumour replicas derived from donated tumour tissue.

The tune was jaunty, full of the cantering rhythms and mimetic horn calls that fit a song about hunting.

At some level, it really, really means that this spoken system and even sign system that we do needs the mimetic system that we create when we gesture.
