Join Heritage Vancouver and the Canadian Art Deco Society for a marvelous evening
exploring the Art Deco architecture of Bombay, India. Navin Ramani, author of Bombay
Art Deco Architecture, A Visual Journey 1930-1953, will provide insights into this
fascinating and little-known history. The evening will begin with wine and appetizers,
followed by a lively presentation, and conclude with an authentic full-course Indian
buffet.

Bombay contains a treasury of commercial, residential and public Art Deco architecture
created during the glamorous and optimistic era of the 1930s and 1940s. This first
generation of modern Indian architects, influenced by current fashionable trends, were
eager to imbue the city with a new modern image. Developing at the same time as the
characteristic architecture of Miami Beach, the two cities exhibit similar scale, geometry,
tropical vocabulary and love of romance. This lecture will be an insightful exploration of
the beauty and abundance of the previously unrecognized Art Deco heritage of Bombay.
Don’t miss this unique exploration of the Art Deco legacy of one of the world’s greatest
cities!
