This spectacular online presentation, with Atul Kumar, founder and trustee of Art Deco Mumbai Trust, dives into Mumbai's abundance of Art Deco treasures to explore how the city boasts the world's second-largest collection of Deco buildings.

In this enthralling, in-depth presentation, acclaimed author and architectural expert, Anthony W. Robins, explores how New York's Art Deco style evolved through a series of iconic Manhattan skyscrapers to become the city’s chief architectural language.
Robins will also discuss how the 1970s brought a massive reawakening of interest in New York’s Deco buildings, which survive today as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still help define the city’s visual identity.
