ART DECO
The Art Deco style originated during the 1920's in France, it was thought up from the idea of using geometeric shapes to
design things
An Art Deco home is generally
2 stories, but some have 3, but the third story is generally, more of a half story and is only little rooms that stick out
They genreally come with a flat roof,
the exterior is almost always painted white and the
houses look somewhat cubey, but incorperated with
big round curves.
Art deco homes can be found in many
countries, including: France, USA, Latin America,
Asia, New Zealand and the UK.
One design element really sticks out when you see an Art Deco home; shape, which is understandable since the form Art Deco, is the use of geometric shapes. The shape mostly used is the cube and rectangular prism
Art Deco was more than a architechural design for homes,
it was also one for building, the Empire State Building was Art Deco, Art Deco can also be applied to cars, and most art forms, like painting.
