Art Deco Architecture – a lecture

Mustansir Dalvi will present a public lecture as part of 2025 programming of Art Deco Mumbai for the centenary celebrations of the 1925 Paris Exposition next year. As a lead up to the 17th World Congress on Art Deco, which will be hosted in Paris in September/October 2025, Art Deco Mumbai shall commence the year in Mumbai with a lecture initiating attendees to the diverse world of Art Deco. 

ADM has dedicated itself to contextualizing the style to Mumbai’s built form. With this session, ADM will open the conversation up wider, exploring how the Style manifests in different fields, geographies, and contexts. What is the enduring legacy of the Exposition that started it all? How has the style developed a different aesthetic language over time and geography? And what is its relevance today? 

Professor Dalvi’s lecture will serve as a primer to the Style that changed the aesthetic trajectory of the world.
