Description
Construction on Cincinnati’s Carew Tower began in 1929, shortly before the October market crash that began the Great Depression. The Art Deco building was the beginning of a series of large construction projects that helped the city weather the worst of the depression. Many of those projects, because of the timeline, were art deco as well.
Art deco is a favorite of mine. I love the combination of art, technology, and optimism that it conveys, the geometric lines, and humanistic motifs. I especially love these buildings in Cincinnati, the way the light falls on the structures. The streaks created by the blurred cloud motion accentuate the design and seem to capture the art deco spirit.
