Art Deco Scotland: Design and Architecture in the Jazz Age addresses a wide variety of Scottish design and architecture in the Art Deco and moderne styles. The introduction explains the complex origins of these styles and the ways in which they fell out, then back into fashion in the post-war era. It also contextualises their emergence against the turbulent economic and political background of the 1920s and 1930s. There follows a series of thematic chapters addressing the states of the architecture and design professions in Scotland in the 1930s, the design of housing, transport, public buildings, commercial buildings, entertainment and hospitality, industry and energy and the interiors of Clyde-built ocean liners. There follows an epilogue, conclusion, endnotes, a bibliography and index. The book is of 362 pages with circa 350 illustrations.
