- Art_Deco_in_Durban abstract "Art Deco, born in the 1920s, the movement's origins are French, but in the 1930s American designers adopted it as their own distinctive style with impressive effect. Yet throughout the world many other countries also identified with the style and added their own local interpretation to it. Art Deco buildings can be found in widely dispersed settings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Maputo, Mozambique, and New Zealand. Art Deco has become a truly international style.In the 1930s the South African harbour city, Durban, embraced the new style. Numerous buildings, especially residential apartment blocks, were erected in this new design. The styling on the Art Deco buildings reflect the different backgrounds of the city's population, some with a strong emphasis on the city's maritime background, other reflecting the interests of Durban's Muslim traders. Some of the buildings pay allegiance to Durban's long association with the British Empire, such as Empire and Dominion Courts while others recognise Indian connections, such as the KM Ebrahim Building and Sayed Fakroodeen Building. Exemplary examples of the style include Surrey Mansions (Currie Road), Berea Court (Berea Road West), Colonial Mutual Building (West Street and the Memorial Tower Building (King George V Avenue). The cenotaph in the central square outside the City Hall is another striking Art Deco construction.[citation needed]".
