Well excuse me, I did answer your question didn't I? I could have posted wobbling tits instead, would certainly have been more in keeping with the prevailing interests on this site recently
Art Deco was popular from the 1920's until the end of WWII when it fell out of favour due to its adoption by the Nazis and Fascists as an expression of their ideals. The Deco style took its influences from the Classical Civilisations (Egypt, Greece, Rome, even the Mesopotamian Civs in some instances) but executed in a very stylised manner using materials at the forefront of construction technology and in a very ecclectic manner. European Deco took different forms to American Deco which took a different form to British Deco but all along the same stylistic and and embelematic themes.
The pics you posted are all examples of the most common Deco structures, being warehouses, and follow quite simple lines when compared to the more famous examples (such as the Chrysler Building NY, or the Hoover Factory Offices down London way). Most of the motifs you can see used on the buildings in your pics have Greek/Roman origins but the former Clydesdale Bank employs motifs of Egyptian origin, although very much stylised. Theres a fabulous limestone example of this on the corner of West Nile St (formerly a bank, now "Frankensteins"). If you take a close look at the stonework on this building you'll find some fossils.
Whats noticable about your pics is that the building all adopt a form of extruded windows with only very slender masonry divides due to the use of steel-framing. This style is what heralded the modern age and modern style of architecture. A good example of this transition in Glasgow was the Tate Tower from the Empire Exhibition.
A relatively unknown, but important example of Deco in Glasgow is a shed down at the Barkley Curle shipyard which is a copy of Peter Behrens seminal AEG Turbine Hall in Berlin.
