Art Deco style.....
A few weeks ago, due to the research of my friends Kara & Tim we tried one of the Conservancy group of LA's tours of downtown. They have a few: historic core, art deco, theaters... I pushed for Art deco.. as i felt i should learn more about the style due to my new apt.
The following are some pics, and some tips to update u to art deco style.
first we descended deep into the bowels of LA (yes Virginia there is a subway in LA)
At Pershing square out tour begins... notice the chevrons, tower, indented windows.......inside...
Artwork would represent details of the buildings function, i forget what this building was for, something to do with california.
..notice the light bulb...
art deco buildings have a limestone base and upper portion consisting of terracota tiles.. sometimes dyed.
bye for now... oh fair city
