City Gate mall & condo tower, some kind of neo-Streamline Moderne, in Kampong Glam, Singapore.
My own photograph. August 2019, Canon PowerShot.
(On a side note, keeping track of weekdays is apparently too complicated for me, as evident this week… So I made double sure it’s really Thursday today :D)

#Photography #DigitalArt #SaultSteMarie #NorthernOntario #Ontario #Canada The #MemorialTower is all that is left of The #SaultMemorialGardens, a former ice hockey arena (1949 to 2006). The Gardens' front facade was representative of #StreamlineModerne #architecture style, using straight lines and curved forms - #ArtDeco . The Gardens' most #distinctivefeature was the Memorial Tower and red-lighted beacon.

Some #ArtDeco #architecture to admire from #Hastings seafront. This is the #1930s Marine Court building, and the resemblance to a #CruiseShip is intentional as it was based on the #Cunard #ship #QueenMary. If the architectural form looks aerodynamic with long lines and curves, and sometimes nautical elements, then you know it's in the #StreamlineModerne style and that's the case here. I'm a big fan of Brutalism but Art Deco runs it a very close second.
