I love Art Deco! Its such a great expression of feeling in architecture. I love the incorporation of the symbols of progress and human achievement that are frequently incorporated in the architecture. Art Deco is Conservative (though it can get quite extravagant), yet classy, and don't forget badass all at the same time.
I hope that we get a Neo-Art Deco movement or something like that sometime. I would be great to see what kind of grand buildings we could build with todays technology. Imagine the kind of vertical lines you could get on a 1500 foot wall! I have noticed that, as mentioned before, a few designs in Chicago, i.e. One Museum Park, are remeniscent of Art Deco.
It would also be good to get a few pics of the new Marquette innerchange thats going up in Milwaukee, its actually very Art Deco. Some pictures can be found by paging through the flash feature at this website:

Other than the geometric lines and pale yellow coloring, the historcal mural/raised concrete figures depicting the citizens of Milwaukee freeing escaped slave Joshua Glover from slave hunters. This art is all very reminescent of the imagry that you find on these historic buildings. I'm very excited that they decided to do something cool with the interchange project!
