Art Moderne is a type of architecture that was popular in the United States from 1925 to around 1980. This type of architecture has its own style but it is sometimes confused with Art Deco. Even though there are some similarities between the two styles, one diffident difference is that in the Art Moderne uses horizontal orientation and Art Deco uses vertical orientation. The two things they do share are stripped down forms and geometric-based ornament. Not only that but it also has its own unique streamlined or wind tunneled look, which is emphasized by the use of curved window glass that curves around that corners of the buildings. Some other characteristics of Art Moderne buildings include rounded edges, corner windows, glass wall blocks, mirrored panels, ribbon or band windows with metal frames, string course along coping of wall, flat roof, curved canopies, smooth wall finish, and railings, balusters, and door and window trim all done with either aluminum or stainless steel.
