Eight architecture projects reviving art deco
Art deco architecture and design is making a major comeback. We've rounded up eight projects celebrating the style, from renovations of historic structures to geometric new-builds.
Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is a visual arts style that spanned a range of disciplines, but its influence in architecture can be identified in geometric forms that draw on cubism, rich materials and bold colours.
The aesthetic emerged in France in the 1920s, from the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris. It spread internationally, influencing major projects like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building in New York.
Just under 100 years later, the aesthetic is now experiencing a major revival in a slew of new projects. Read on to see eight of the best:
Paradiso Ibiza Art Hotel, Ibiza by Ilmiodesign
This hotel in Ibiza by Spanish studio Ilmiodesign features a stark white exterior, candy-coloured rooms and a 1920s-esque typeface that are intended to be reminiscent of the art deco architecture found along Miami Beach.
