Heavenly Deco: Art Deco Houses of Worship in New York Video Event

About the Event:

Join us for an exploration of New York houses of worship designed in whole or part in the Art Deco style from the 1920s to the 1950s. This was a period of transition in the architecture of sacred spaces, in which traditional styles — classical, Gothic, Romanesque — incorporated stylized, sometimes strikingly modern details, as churches and synagogues sought to follow the currents of contemporary architecture without losing the traditional forms, arrangements, and imagery to which so much sanctity was attached. Results were mixed, but the period at its best produced some of the most exciting buildings in New York. We will also provide sidelights on what was going on in other cities around the world.

Among those featured will be:

Church of the Heavenly Rest
Temple Emanu-El
St. Bartholomew‘s

This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

About the Speaker:

Francis Morrone is an architectural historian and the author of eleven books, including Guide to New York City Urban Landscapes (W.W. Norton, 2013); The New York Public Library: The Architecture and Decoration of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (with Henry Hope Reed, W.W. Norton, 2011); and architectural guidebooks to Philadelphia and Brooklyn. As a historic preservation consultant, he has written countless building histories and neighborhood surveys in New York and beyond, and also worked as an art and architecture critic for the New York Sun. Collectively, his work represents one of the most comprehensive bodies of research on the built history of New York City. He has taught at New York University‘s School of Professional Studies for nineteen years, and is the recipient of the SPS Excellence in Teaching Award.
