−	Art Deco is a modernist architectural style that flourished in the mid-1920s through to the early-1930s. As well as having a significant influence on architecture, it also extended to fashion, art, sculpture, ~~jewelry~~ and furniture. It is characterised by its distinctive sharp-edges and ~~stylized~~, geometric, decorative details. Despite examples being evident in Europe and South America, Art Deco is seen as being synonymous with the American architecture of the time, being the first movement to break from the preceding Revival styles and embodying the ideas of the modern age.	+	Art Deco is a modernist architectural style that flourished in the mid-1920s through to the early-1930s.

−	Windows were often arranged in continuous horizontal bands of glass to maintain a streamlined appearance and were frequently square or round openings with embossed spandrel panels placed below them. Decorative glass or glass blocks were used for wall openings as a means of ~~maximizing~~ natural light and providing a contrast between solid and void forms.	+	Windows were often arranged in continuous horizontal bands of glass to maintain a streamlined appearance and were frequently square or round openings with embossed spandrel panels placed below them.
