Book Description
In het midden van de Lebeaustraat in Brussel naast neorenaissance en neogotische huizen pronkt de art-nouveauparel van architect Victor Horta: Het huis Frison. Tussen 1894-1885 gebouwd in opdracht van Maurice Frison, vriend en advocaat v an de architect. Horta ontwierp het huis en alle decoraties tot in de kleinste details: van de deurklinken tot de schitterende marmeren haarden, van de mozaïekvloeren tot de sierlijke trapleuning, van de wandlampen tot zelfs het traliewerk van de kelderlampen. De wintertuin is de absolute eyecatcher: het sierlijke ontwerp laat het daglicht subtiel en zachtgeel binnenstromen.

Book Description
Distinguished by their lavish sculpture, metalwork or tile facades, Art Nouveau buildings certainly stand out. Art Nouveau buildings are unique, audacious and inspirational. Rejecting historic styles, considered inappropriate for an era driven by progress, architects and designers sought a new vocabulary of architectural forms. Their vision was shaped by modern materials and innovative technologies, including iron, glass and ceramics. A truly democratic style, Art Nouveau transformed life on the eve of the twentieth century and still captivates our imaginations today. Beautifully illustrated, this book explains how the new style came into being, its rationale and why it is known by so many different names: French Art Nouveau, German Jugendstil, Viennese Secession, Catalan Modernisme, Italian Liberty and Portuguese Arte Nova. It covers the key architects and designers associated with the style; Victor Horta in Brussels, Hector Guimard in Paris, Antoni Gaudi on Barcelona, Otto Wagner in Vienna, Odon Lechner in Budapest and Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow. There are detailed descriptions and stunning photographs of buildings to be found in Brussels, Paris, Nancy, Darmstadt, Vienna, Budapest, Barcelona, Milan, Turin and Aveiro. Finally, it covers the decorative arts, stained glass, tiles and metalwork that make Art Nouveau buildings so distinctive.

Book Description
This book examines a period which is far more than a prelude to the age of steel and concrete. The first half-century culminated in the bold iron and glass of the Crystal Palace. There follows the creation of the modern styles of the era based on traditions of the past, and finally, in the 20th century, Art Nouveau and the modern architects in their generations - Perret, Wright, Gropius, Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and others in many parts of the world.
