100 Years of Art Deco: The World’s Greatest Art Deco Buildings
In Los Angeles, the Alex Theatre – originally opened in 1925 as the Alexander Theatre for vaudeville performances and silent movies and now a performing arts centre – comes across as very showy, fitting for its proximity to Tinseltown, with an obelisk neon-lit by night looming above the entrance and a ticket office that leads to the lobby via a large open-air forecourt inspired by Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, a route that adds a strong sense of drama to the space. - Dominic Lutyens
