Art Deco/Nouveau (an open thread) Streamline, Modernist, Bauhaus too

I'm not sure what era this building is. Perhaps it's modern but inspired by art deco, I dunno, I just have a camera not a architectural history qualification.

Hi, I would see it as neo-Bauhaus ...
 
I was working in Chicago a couple of months ago, there are loads of cool art deco buildings; and the cultural centre has the largest Tiffany glass dome in the world.

One of the Gods of Art Deco surely.. Battersea Power Station.

When taking this image, I wished to capture a chimney, the detailing on the cooling tower and the large window on the left (which sat as an open space for years during the buildings dereliction).
