The Art Deco House
Adrian Tinniswood
This is a book that will captivate those interested in the architecture of the Art Deco period. Extensive photos and discussion of 34 houses including the House of Tomorrow by Norman Bel Geddes; the Henry House in Utrecht, Holland; Geragh in Sandycove, Dublin; and Rudolf Schindler's Los Angeles home. There are also designs by Richard Neutra, in the US; Robert Mallet-Stevens in France; and Berthold Lubetkin in the UK. The Deco period is characterized by chrome, glass, and tubular steel which replaced the more traditional woods and natural fabrics of the past, as did a developing interest in Meso-American and Native American motifs, first rediscovered by Frank Lloyd Wright, who had a huge influence on European architectural design in the 1910's and 1920's.
