The building I chose to compare with the Art Deco period is the Café l’Aubette. This café shows the De Stijl movement that was designed by Theo van Doesburg.

To the modern day reader, the term “Gothic” can often be confused with a certain genre of style involving men and women who wear baggy clothes, black eyeliner and lip-stick and spike their hair and has very little to do with the architecture that was predominantly used from the twelfth to the sixteenth century.
