Art Deco architecture played a significant role in the development of the World's Fairs. During the 1920s and 30s, Art Deco was the dominant architectural style, and it was seen as a symbol of modernity, progress, and innovation. As a result, many of the World's Fairs during this period were built in the Art Deco style. The architecture was designed to showcase the best of modern technology and design, and to attract visitors from around the world. This style of architecture helped to create the iconic and memorable images that are often associated with these events, such as the Eiffel Tower at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, or the Trylon and Perisphere at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Art Deco architecture at the World's Fairs helped to shape the public's perception of modernity and progress, and it continues to be celebrated today as a symbol of innovation and design.
