Hi friends of art deco in the world,

I am a student of a master degreee in tourism in São Paulo - Brazil. I am from Goiânia - Goiás , a city near the capital of Brazil - Brasilia. Goiânia is an art deco city in the centre of Brazil, it was built in 1933. Now I am studing the opportunities of "uses" of the art deco archicheture to the recreation and tourism. I have already done some contacts to Robert McGregor in Napier - New Zealand. He sended me some materials: tour guides, books. Now I am looking other exemples of art deco around the world. If is possible to send me some materials like jornals/magazines/books/tour guides..... they will be very important for my studies. For next vacation I am looking for a summer job in a place that works eith tourism/recreation/education and art deco. Or participate of a great event of art deco, like the 6th Congress thet will be happen in Cape town - South Africa in March/2003.. Can you help me? I am finishing a first tour guide of archicheture art deco in Goiânia, with 10 historical buildings in the dowtown. I can present you. Send me some materials you have. It will be very important for me. Return as soon as possible or send me some materials for the address above. Thanks for the opportunities... and sorry my poor english.

Hi! Was very interested in your quest as I am a big fan of the art deco myself. have been staying at some fantastic deco hotels, including Burgh Island in Devon, England and th Thermae Palace in Ostende, Belgium. i'm just starting a site of our travels at www.geocities.com/decobuildings if you are interested. One thing of particular note I recently found with my girlfriend was a horse racing course in Ostende. i'll have some photos soon. would be great to keep in touch and swap stuff.
