I make no apologies for featuring more examples of my favourite architecture. These are from America, Australia, Britain, Italy, and Belgium. They include private houses, industrial buildings, offices, and public spaces like swimming pools.
Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre, London.
Former Kodak Offices, now a kitchen company.
The Daily Express Newspaper, London.
A land-drainage pump in Italy, 1934.
Saltdean open-air swimming pool, England.
An office block in Australia.
Private houses.

I love all the pieces. The rounded edges are difficult to create. I specially love the newspaper office. It looks so sleek in black. All it needed was a neck tie. 😁

The newspaper buiding is rightly famous for its design, and the interior too.

They used a lot of concrete, so I presume that is cheaper than bricks, Ed.

I absolutely love anything art deco. I remember when Miami Beach was mostly art deco. Here is on in Cincinnati, Ohio that I dearly love:
