Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This change is reflected in architecture. In the search for an appearance that reflects the modern times, architects explored different ways in which the form and material could accommodate economic restrictions as well as reflect changing identities. For example, the Art Deco movement shifted from classic European style to the idea of modernism. Due to economic restraints caused by the Great Depression, the Streamline Moderne style emerged. While shifts in thinking can change the style of architecture, the purpose of a single building can also change over time based on the needs of the community.
First, you will read about the Art Deco movement early 20th century. Second, you will read bout the Streamline Moderne style that was created as a response to the Art Deco movement. Last, you will see a specific example of the ways in which a single building, the Limelight Marketplace, can change over time.
