In November, David Turner gave a well-researched and illustrated talk on Art Deco architecture. Art Deco flourished through the 20s & 30s driven by the Paris Exhibition of 1925 and was applied to all forms of the decorative arts. It included many fine buildings that would have been seen as elegant, functional and ultra modern. This movement was, in a sense, an amalgam of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century. It was a machine age style, which utilised the innovations of the times such as plastics, chrome & aluminium. We started 2008 by examining the major developments in architectural design of the years 1890 to 1914.
