Art Deco architecture influenced the design of public art installations by introducing a modern, sleek, and geometric aesthetic. This style favored clean lines, bold shapes, and a strong emphasis on the use of materials, especially metals and glass. Public art installations like sculptures, murals, and fountains began to adopt these design elements and incorporate them into their structures. Art Deco also placed a strong emphasis on functionality and incorporated innovative designs that enhanced the function of the art installation. This influenced public art installations to have a purpose and not to exist only for aesthetic reasons. Overall, Art Deco architecture inspired public art installations to be modern while incorporating design elements that highlighted their intended function and context.
