All that's Deco

Mumbai contains the world’s second largest concentration of Art Deco buildings, after Miami, with more than 200 such structures. The oft-celebrated architectural style originated in Paris, spread throughout Europe and the U.S., and made its way to India, where colonization brought not only British rule but also new ways of dressing, behaving, and designing, changing the face of this metropolis that started as a small fishing village.

Eros cinema, constructed by the British in 1938, was built to seat 1,204 people and initially included residential apartments. It currently awaits recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. #illustration #artdeco #architecture #mumbai #bombay #miami #eros

The Colony Hotel, located at the celebrated Ocean Drive and Seventh Street Miami, is the most photographed art deco hotel in the world. A 1939 boutique-inspired hotel, it has made cameo appearances in scores of movies. #colonyhotel #miami #artdeco #southbeach #illustration #architecture
