Abstract: *”Bombay Art Deco Architecture: A Visual Journey (1930-1953)”* explores the fusion of European influences and local culture in Bombay’s Art Deco style during the early 20th century. The book traces the city’s transformation into a cosmopolitan hub, highlighting key motifs and iconic buildings that embody this unique architectural movement. It draws comparisons between Bombay and Miami Beach’s Deco styles, coining the term “Bombay-Miami Beach Deco” (BoMi Deco). The work emphasizes the importance of preserving this architectural heritage and concludes with ongoing efforts to restore and protect Bombay’s Art Deco legacy for future generations.
