The BA Alexandria and Mediterranean Research Center, also known as Alex Med, is gearing up for a fascinating conference titled “Art Deco Architecture: Mediterranean Perspective.” This exciting event will be held on Monday, December 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM in the BACC Delegates Hall. This initiative is made possible through a collaboration with reputable institutions, including the Honorary Consulate of Italy in Alexandria and the Alexandria Cultural Foundation (Anpiemed), among others.

This conference marks a significant milestone in the global celebration of the centenary of Art Deco, a remarkable artistic and architectural movement that emerged in the early 20^th century. Known for its distinctive geometric shapes and luxurious aesthetics, Art Deco left a profound mark on the design landscape of cities worldwide, particularly throughout the vibrant Mediterranean region. From dazzling buildings to exquisite furniture, its influence is evident in many aspects of urban architecture and decor.

Attendees can look forward to insightful presentations from a diverse group of researchers and experts hailing from several European and Arab nations. This gathering is particularly noteworthy as it represents the second of a trilogy of conferences dedicated to the exploration and appreciation of Art Deco. The first event took place in the culturally rich nation of Tunisia last year, while the third is scheduled to unfold in Morocco in 2026, rounding out a series that celebrates the enduring legacy of this artistic movement.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for architecture enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs alike to dive deep into the influences of Art Deco on Mediterranean architecture, as well as to engage with experts and peers from around the globe. As we commemorate a century of this captivating movement, it’s important to cherish its contributions to the world of art and architecture.
