Description

Art Deco Architecture: The Inter War Period explores the origins and inspirations behind this popular style. Emerging in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco brought luxury, fun, and escapism to a world facing hardship. This book examines the sources and influences of the style from before World War I. Lavishly illustrated with images taken especially for the book, it delves into the worldwide spread and usage of Art Deco, as well as short biographical essays on architects and architectural practices. The book also features an in-depth examination of French architects and their output from this period, stunning little-known buildings from around the world, and the importance of World Fairs and Expositions in the style's dissemination. With its unique blend of historical context and visual appeal, Art Deco Architecture: The Inter War Period offers a comprehensive look at this iconic design movement.
