Postmodern Echoes of Art Deco

Noticed today how much a lot of Postmodern architecture in NYC echoes Art Deco design..

Think it is an improvement from simple boxes of glass and steel from era of Mises van der Rohe and the concrete and glass of Corbusier.

  1. Le Corbusier was more commonly known for his use of concrete and glass rather than steel and glass.
