Art Deco architecture has influenced various other styles of architecture in several ways:
1. Streamlined forms: Art Deco architecture popularized the use of smooth, streamlined forms that were suggestive of speed and motion, similar to the shapes that were common in the Age of the Machine. This influence can be seen in many later architectural styles like Modernism and Futurism.
2. Ornamentation: The intricate geometric and linear patterns that were common in Art Deco architecture has had an impact on later styles, especially those that emphasize decorative ornamentation, such as Postmodern architecture.
3. Use of materials: The use of new materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and reinforced concrete in Art Deco architecture influenced their widespread use in later architectural styles like International Style and Brutalism.
4. Asymmetry: The asymmetrical designs that were common in Art Deco architecture had an impact on later styles as well, especially in Postmodern architecture.
5. Emphasis on verticality: Many Art Deco buildings were designed to emphasize upward movement, through the use of tall spires, towers, and curved corners. This influence can be seen in later styles that emphasize verticality, like Gothic Revival and Neogothic.
