Art deco hotspots around the world.

In the online magazine dezeen, you can always find interesting articles about architecture. As part fo their Art Deco Centenary series the authors Amy Peacock and Gabrielle Wong report in one of the latest articles on little-known Art Deco hotspots in various regions of the world.

About Art Deco they write: “Art deco dominated in Paris, New York and Miami in the 1920s and 30s, but the style also stretched far and wide, making an impact in cities across Asia, South America and New Zealand. It has been dubbed “the first international style” because of the way it spread across the world – including to unexpected places. Many aspiring architects moved to Europe and the USA to study during this time and brought art deco influences back to their home countries, blending the style with elements denoting local traditional architecture.”
