The most iconic works of the style emerged at this time, including the Chrysler Building, the Rockefeller Center, and the Empire State Building, all in New York, introducing a new language to the skyscrapers that changed the city's skyline, reflecting a new modern and technological society. During this period, Art Deco becomes more moderate and sober, incorporating materials such as concrete and stainless steel. Save this picture!

It was a lavish mixture of styles that was embraced by the wealthy post-war bourgeoisie. The decorative aspect and the compositional arrangements also derive from Beaux-Arts architecture, through symmetry, straight lines, hierarchy in the floor plan distribution, and facades divided into base, shaft, and capital (Classical tripartite division) - although this time with more rational volumes and the occasional use of ornaments. As a successor to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, Art Deco was also influenced by the abstract and geometric forms of Cubism, the bright colors of Fauvism, and the exoticized crafts and styles of countries such as China, Japan, and Egypt. Just like in the many fields influenced by this style, Art Deco architecture combines modern design with traditional elements such as exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious materials including jade, lacquer, and ivory.
The milestone of this style was the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925, from which it took its name.
