Art Deco was an architectural style from the 1920s-1930s characterized by geometric shapes and motifs. It featured bold colors, zigzags, chevrons and streamlined forms inspired by ocean liners and skyscrapers. Major Art Deco buildings included the Empire State Building with its limestone facade and Chrysler Building with stainless steel ornaments and automobile motifs. Art Deco was applied to buildings worldwide as well as interior design, furniture and other decorative arts during this era of modernism.

Early modernism emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by a departure from traditional artistic, architectural, and literary conventions. Embracing innovation, simplicity, and a break from historical precedents, it laid the groundwork for avant-garde movements, influencing diverse disciplines with its commitment to experimentation and a forward-looking ethos.
Louis Henry Sullivan was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1856. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for one year. He worked as a draftsman for Furness and Hewitt in Philadelphia and for William Le Baron Jenney in Chicago.

This research gives an overall idea about the late 18th century's Modernism period in the architecture and interior design field. It also talks about some of the famous design pioneers of that time.
Short power point showing the various styles and transitions of architecture. Also includes models built by architects. This is a good piece to introduce a model building project with high school or college age students.
Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City.
As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by aesthetics: form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound.
Classic examples of modern architecture are the Lever House and the Seagram Building in commercial space, and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the Bauhaus movement in private or communal spaces.
Transitional examples of postmodern architecture are the Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and the Sony Building in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Art Deco is essentially a style of decoration
which was applied to buildings as well as
home decor, jewelry, and clothing.
• Vivid color and stark, geometric shapes
influenced architecture, furniture, and fashion
worldwide. Everything was geometric and
cubic.
• Art Deco also incorporates a lot of contrasts,
such as color palates of chrome and cobalt
blue, and crystal and black.
• Clean shapes and elegant lines are
emphasized; ornate moldings and scrolled
protrusions that perform no practical function
are left out to allow for the curves, sleek lines
and streamlined geometric shapes, including
stylized flowers and foliage.
3. • The architecture and applied arts of the
period reveal a varied mix.
• From luxurious objects made from exotic
materials to mass produced, streamlined items
available to a growing middle class, the world
of Art Deco represents a "graciousness of
form" from a simpler time.
• Art deco is similar to the earlier Art Nouveau
style, but with a more Modernist esthetic.
• Art Nouveau is characterized by intricately
detailed patterns of curving lines and is
rooted in the British Arts & Crafts movement
of William Morris. Art deco style is more
reminiscent of the Precisionist art movement,
which developed at about the same time.
4. • Art deco architects and artists include:
– Rene Lalique (French glassmaker),
– Jean Dunand (Swiss designer),
– Frank Lloyd Wright and Raymond Hood
(American architects),
– Jean Dupas (French designer),
– William Van Alen (American architect),
– Paul Manship (American sculptor),
– C. Paul Jennewein (German sculptor),
– Erte (Russian/French painter & designer),
– Tamara de Lempicka (Polish painter)
– Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann (French furniture
designer),
– Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser (Austrian
jewelry designers),
– Edgar Brandt (French wrought iron sculptor),
– Louis Sullivan (American architect),
– J.A. Louis Hay (Napier architect),
– Sue et Mare (French designer) and
– Cassandre (Ukrainian/French printmaker).
5. • Art Deco is widely used in many areas as a
decoration style, such as architecture,
interiors, furnishing, fine arts, handmade
crafts, posters, and industrial design.
• Art Deco was influenced by the modern art
movements of Cubism, Futurism, and
Constructivism; however, it also took some
ideas from the ancient geometrical design
styles, such as Egypt, Assyria and Persia.
• Art Deco designers use stepped forms,
rounded corners, triple- striped decorative
elements and black decoration quite a lot. The
most important thing is that they are all in
geometrical order, and simple formats.
6. How Did It Start?
• At the beginning of the 20th century the death
of Queen Victoria in 1901 ended the Victorian
era and technology caused the pace of life to
speed up. The ornate floral styles of the pre-
Twenties gave way to a more simple style.
After World War I ended in 1919, life had
changed drastically.
• Art Deco was born in 1925. The name was
derived from the 1925 Exposition
Internationale des Arts Decoratifs Industriels
et Modernes, held in Paris, which celebrated
living in the modern world.
• Today, "Art Deco" is used to refer to a mix of
styles from the 1920s and 1930s.
7. In Architecture, Interior Design,
and Furniture Design
• Art Deco as a decorative design
style is mainly seen on the
buildings, architecture, interiors,
and furnishings. "Thus, it became
a popular style for theaters,
restaurants, hotels, ocean liners,
and World's Fair exhibitions"
• From 1918 to the Second World
War, there were numbers of
'skyscraper' built up in New York
City,
• there were theaters, restaurants,
hotels, ocean liners, and even
World's Fair exhibitions.
8. Empire State Building, New
York
• Architect- Shreve, Lamb & Harmon,
William F. Lamb as chief designer
• Height (struct.)-381 m1,250 ft
• Floors -102
• Built in- 1930
• Built in the midst of the Depression, it
was, and still remains a testament to
American fortitude and ingenuity.
• The façade is composed of more than
200,000 cubic feet of Indiana
limestone and granite, and utilizes
several setbacks to offset the optical
distortion of its 102-story height.
9. • Stunning in both its height and
simplicity, the building's sleek
limestone and stainless steel design
rises in a stunning series of setbacks
ending with a bold seven-hundred
foot tower, which was originally
intended as a mooring dock for
dirigibles.
• There are in all 6,500 windows, with
spandrels sandblasted to blend their
tone to that of the windows, visually
creating the vertical striping on the
facade. The windows and spandrels
are also flush with the limestone
facing, an aesthetic and economic
decision.
11. Chrysler Building , New York
• Architect- William Van Alen
• Location New York,
• Date 1928 to 1930
• Building Type- skyscraper,
commercial office tower
• Construction System- steel
frame, metal cladding
• Stainless steel metal
ornamented top. Automobile-
derived ornamental details.
Elegant lobby.
12. • Chevrons, sunbursts, setback and zigzag
motifs replaced classical molding and
historical details as skyscraper
architects developed a flamboyant,
ornamental vocabulary frankly
celebratory of the modern metropolis.
• The most extraordinary transformation
was the evolution of the building's
crown into a fantastic, terraced dome,
an invention almost as allusive, bizarre,
and sculpturally complex as a church
finial by Borromini. Van Alen's design
was a sort of cruciform groin vault
sliced in seven concentric segments that
mounted up one behind the other. The
whole complex swelled upward toward
the center, and as they did their shapes
were progressively distorted from a pure
semicircle at the bottom of the finial to a
thin parabola that stretched toward the
vertex.
13. • Van Alen's original facade treatment called
for a Middle- or Far Eastern-like
patterning of its white, gray and black
brickwork. The final design of the main
shaft is particularly effectively in its corner
banding patterns that while horizontal
accentuate the 77-story tower's verticality
and gives it shaft considerable rhythmic
energy.
• incorporate some decorative designs
associated with automobiles on the
facades, namely simulated hubcaps near
the top of one rung of setbacks and great
stainless steel eagle gargoyles, two at each
of the shaft's four major corners.
15. Raj Mandir Cinema,
Jaipur
• Architect- W M Namjoshi
• Built in 1975
• The exterior of the building is made
up of various asymmetrical shapes,
zig-zags, curves and even stars set
into the facade, all lit at night by
concealed lighting. Inside, lighting
changes colours, hidden behind and
underneath a frond fern leaf-like
plaster trough which has openings all
over the ceiling and walls.
17. City Hall Building
• Architect- Douglas D. Ellington
• built in 1926 - 1928,
• Location- City of Asheville, North Carolina
• stands as a magnificent symbol of the
development boom of the twenties when civic
projects were undertaken in the "Program of
Progress" to keep pace with speculative
construction throughout Asheville.
• It is a colorful and massive "fortress-like"
structure rising eight full stories into the
Asheville sky.
• Materials- marble, brick and terra cotta and
were selected in colors to parallel the clay-
pink shades of the local Asheville soil. The
building is topped with a stepped octagonal
roof covered with bands of elongated
triangular terra-cotta red tiles and crowned
by a heavy conical tower.
18. Abt architect - Douglas D. Ellington
• Born in Clayton, North Carolina, on
June 26, 1886,
• Ellington was educated at Randolph-
Macon College, Drexel Institute, the
University of Pennsylvania, and the
Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
• Ellington first came to Asheville in the
1920s. Among the buildings he
designed in Asheville were the Lee
Edwards High School, the First
Baptist Church, Biltmore Hospital, the
S & W Cafeteria Building, and the
Merrimon Avenue Fire Station
19. Buffalo City Hall
•By- Dietel Wade & Jones.
•Built in- 1931
•Situated in City of
Buffalo, New York.
22. Department Stores
• Acknowledging the appeal of art deco
requires that one address the role of style and
fashion in the modern design economy and
recognize the importance of department stores
in the modern metropolis.
• Like the tall office building, the department
store emerged as a distinctive building type in
the 19 century and grew in size until it often
occupied entire city blocks.
• Department stores played a crucial role in the
promotion of all types and styles of goods for
an increasingly broad spectrum of consumers.
• With the popularity of art deco, some
department stores assumed a more flamboyant
presence in the cityscape.
