Very good. I was mesmerised by that pool complex at the end. A vision of social architecture.

The pool complex in the video is a prefect example of late art deco style. The great depression caused the style to become more simplified due to lack of funds. It eventually broke off into styles such as streamline moderne in the late 1930s-1940s and modernism/international style which took on a focus towards industrialization and simplicity.

@@mayormc Yeah. A vision of the future. Or the past, some would say, but I see it as the future.

They also appreciate different cultures and include them as part of French culture and design

France's architectural and artistic heritage, which is in many respects unparalleled, is unfortunately not matched by a real commitment on the part of national authorities. The highest level of protection, the monument historique, covers only 44,236 buildings. Even these buildings can, under certain circumstances, be demolished as happened recently with several buildings along the Rue de Rivoli formerly part of the Samaritaine complex in Paris. Macron's government has reduced even the equivocal protection the monument historique designation provides by eliminating the veto that France's corps of history architects (ABF) formerly had over the demolition or destructive re-use of these buildings. In Germany, historic protection is devolved to historic preservation offices (Denkmalpflege) in the sixteen states that have, among them, issued historic preservation status to more than a million buildings or monuments. To the extent these buildings survive in France, it's owing much more to the tenacity of owners, activists and occasionally local officials too, rather than legislation or the French Culture Ministry.

Meanwhile I have to fight to avoid that my house gets into the heritage inventory and I lose my management rights (demolition or destructive re-use) of my property to some commission architect. The house has been rebuild (destructively re-used) 4 times since (maybe)1780 and looking at their description they have no idea it was one of their own buildings until 1855.

Marck Clemens Same here in Peru. Art Deco arrived relatively late but it leaf beautiful and singular buildings but the institution which have the authority to conserve and protect country's patrimony is like absent. Many buildings and houses not only with Art Deco style but Republican and Colony style are been desappearing just for building "modernity" leaving behind places with identify and history. So sad

Too bad Warsaw was destroyed in WW2. It apparently had a great representation of the period in art and architecture.

Love the church floor tiles

India has a wonderful amount of Art Deco buildings.

My wife and I got to see The Great Gatsby at the Casino on Catalina Island, it is a must-see theatre. Get there early if they have the movie night, they have a pipe organ.

que c'est beau....love art deco! and France too!

Love art deco

It really a wonder from yesteryear... Love the video ☄

Very nice! Thank you for a fascinating look at the styles of the 1920s

I think that true style ended 1929 and a total collapse came somewhere around 1965

Please use subtitles, it’s very annoying when they talk over other person.

I think the reason I like art deco is because is base on Egyptian art.

Some examples take influence from Egypt. But other examples of art deco also took influence from native American, Mayan, early classical styles . I'm not surprised for the Egyptian influence considering the discovery of king Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

Beautiful..

Live like you’re Jay Gatsby.

Cool

SVP, soit vous laissez parler en français et vous mettez des sous-titres en anglais, ou bien vous traduisez en anglais , mais mettez les voix en français à off. Les deux , à intensité quasi égale , c' est la cacophonie. On comprend pas grand-chose.

Interesting to watch and compare the KZread videos of the various European state broadcasters. The French and Russian channels are always talking their own country up; whereas the British (BBC) and German state channels are always talking their own country down.

That Church is beautiful and I Saw my Lord and Savior Jesus! I love you Jesus❤️

I'm sorry. But I believe Art Deco was nit introduced until 1929. If I am incorrect please tell me. But I have collected Art Deco my whole adult life. Im pretty sure it was introduced in Paris in 1929.

To a great extent, Art Deco is epitomized by the works that were shown at the International Exhibition of Modern and Industrial Decorative Arts, held in Paris in 1925. Indeed, the name of this vast exhibition would later be abbreviated to Art Deco, giving a catch-all label-perhaps somewhat imprecise-to the enormous range of decorative arts and architecture created between the first and second world wars.

Sorry you are incorrect. Art Deco period is usually defined as beginning with the Expo in Paris of 1925. However, its roots are even visible in the works of the Mackintosh's in Scotland. So please don't be so rigid with a movement that included architecture, furniture, paintings, sculpture, and every facet of design on both sides of the Atlantic.
