The art deco architecture has been rightly hailed as the architecture of future. True to today’s machine age, this school of architecture is categorized by sleek geometric designs that often have a dramatic impact. Their distinct cubic and zig zag designs set them apart from other building styles and remind one of the Flintstone style of architecture. Once a rage in the 1930’s and 40’s, this style of architecture still finds many takers who want to express their wild side in construction.

As common with most architecture styles, art deco architecture has also adopted distinctive elements of other building styles. In fact, the art deco movement was a fusion of several different art movements such as Futurism, Neoclassical, Cubism and Modernism. It also drew inspiration from the cultures of Far East, Aztec, India, Rome and Egypt. The Art Deco spire of the Chrysler Building in New York is perhaps the best known example of art deco architecture in the world today.
