<!-- Da tradurre: == Background ==

Riga 32 ⟶ 21:

The Streamline Moderne was both a reaction to Art Deco and a reflection of austere economic times; Sharp angles were replaced with simple, aerodynamic curves. Exotic woods and stone were replaced with [[cement]] and [[glass]].

Art Deco and Streamline Moderne were not necessarily opposites. Streamline Moderne buildings with a few Deco elements were not uncommon but the prime movers behind streamline design ([[Raymond Loewy]], [[Walter Dorwin Teague]], [[Gilbert Rohde]], [[Norman Bel Geddes]]) all disliked Art Deco, seeing it as effete and falsely modern—essentially a fraud. -->

<!-- The [[Normandie Hotel]], which opened during 1942, is built in the stylized shape of the ocean liner SS ''Normandie'', and it includes the ship's original sign. The [[Streamliner#Sterling Streamliner diners|Sterling Streamliner Diners]] were [[diner]]s designed like streamlined trains.

Although Streamline Moderne houses are less common than streamline commercial buildings, residences do exist. The [[Lydecker House]] in [[Los Angeles]], built by [[Lydecker brothers|Howard Lydecker]], is an example of Streamline Moderne design in residential architecture. In tract development, elements of the style were frequently used as a variation in postwar [[Terraced house|row housing]] in San Francisco's [[Sunset District, San Francisco|Sunset District]].
