How do courses of brickwork accommodate the shape of an arch? Exactly what happens at the intersection of two stone walls? What is the profile of a molding where a cornice wraps around the corner of a building? Solving these problems with style and elegance is the hallmark of good design; the resulting solutions are the structural and decorative details that are emblematic of historic periods and become the signatures of individual styles and designers.

Its more than 1,400 high-quality colour photographs capture the texture, colour, grain and shape of architectural details organized by subject: walls, facades, ornament and molding, columns, posts and arches, windows, doorways, ceilings and roofs, floors and pavement.

The exciting colors and unfamiliar themes of the Ballets ruses exerted an especially strong influence. Also the powerful imagery of Africa and the arts of Asia and Pre-Columbian America provided endless sources of form and pattern. This collection of Art Deco decoration shows a style that is equally adaptable and as enjoyable now as when it was first created.
