Art deco是20世纪最有魅力的建筑风格，这种风格塑造了现代奢华的流行观点。书中包含200多张照片，是对这种非常流行的风格的一场视觉体验。与大多数关于这个主题的其它书籍不一样（这些书往往是讲某个具体地区的Art deco），本书突出了世界各地的Art Deco建筑物，从澳大利亚到南美，以伦敦、洛杉矶、纽约、芝加哥、迈阿密和巴黎为重点。

Art deco is the 20th century's most glamorous architectural style, and the one that shaped popular ideas of modern luxury. With over 200 photographs, this is a visual celebration of this very popular style. Unlike most other books on the subject that tend to be regionally specific, this book highlights Art Deco buildings from all over the world, from Australia to South America, with an emphasis on London, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Miami, and Paris. Art Deco features much careful and exacting detail, and of special interest in this book are photos that zoom in on murals, mosaics, flooring, ironwork, and other ornamental flourishes.
