Art Deco buildings displayed impeccably smooth finish building materials, such as stucco, concrete block, glazed bricks and mosaic tiles, to name a few. A distinguishing feature from the then-prevalent revival and eclectic buildings was the addition of decorative details, such as motifs, in the elevation. These details were sometimes nonfunctional, added only to showcase the architect’s artistic touch on the structure. The completed buildings were style statements in themselves, decorated with rich clear edged embellishments that were often low-relief designs. The designs included geometric shapes, such as chevrons and ziggurats adorned with stylized floral and sunrise patterns. The prime sources of inspiration were the Native American artworks.
