That one looks like someone turned a cruise ship into a building.
Yeah it really does, I say that every time I see it - I think that's not uncommon with art deco. Reminds me of places in, I dunno, Folkestone or Leigh-on-Sea or something looking over the sea, I always imagine that the guys who live in those are old ships captains or something who have retired to a pseudo-boat by the coast and have one of those old brass telescopes on their balcony looking out to sea.That one looks like someone turned a cruise ship into a building.
I mean whatever the common ideas of it are - like my understanding, which is vague and low resolution. "Popular" probably wasn't the word for it, think "common" is better. I was just wondering how much the passing/pedestrian understanding, such as mine, keeps intact the message/intention of the modernists. I mean, I hear "modernist architecture" and I think Bauhaus, so I'm probably a bit above average there, but not much. Still low resolution in the grand scheme, which is my point.i dont know what the popular understanding is
This is kinda what I thought... but if you look it up its the other way round. Art deco started in France and Arte Moderne in the US.
Probably not. As I said above I totally messed up the title to this thread and thus the whole thread I guess.To be honest this is going beyond the little I know about the subject, but is "Art Moderne" the same thing as international modern[e/ism]?
It's the palm trees. Palms are compulsory with this sort of building, even if it's in Glasgow or Helsinki.these pictures all look as if they are taken in miami.
