AROUND THE WORLD: ICONIC ART DECO BUILDINGS:
Following the 1925 Paris Expo, the influence of the Art Deco Movement on the style adopted for the design of many new buildings was immense. As a consequence, there are very few major cities in the world that don’t boast some examples of Art Deco Architecture. We explore iconic Art Deco buildings in New York, Miami, Vancouver, Napier, Mumbai, London, Lisbon and of course, where it all started, Paris. We learn about key architectural features and how architects embraced modern materials that were adopted in to eye-catching geometric patterns and shapes.

Note: With her online speaking circuit, Pamela will be delivering a variety of unique talks to all the NZ Societies so there is an opportunity to view additional topics from home. Details and links will be sent in advance.

Ticket includes wine reception.
