(Re)discover Art Nouveau at the heart of Brussels. At the end of the 19th century, the anti-academic movement pushed Brussels` architects towards Art Nouveau. Both Victor Horta, in an organic style, & Paul Hankar, in a more geometrical tendency, created an architecture that quickly gained an international reputation. In a little more than a decade, from 1893 on, hundreds of Art Nouveau-fashioned buildings appeared in Brussels, elaborated first by the great pioneers & later by their students & imitators who are also influenced by the Vienna Secession & other trends of European Art Nouveau. At first, this style fulfilled industrial bourgeoisie`s dreams, yearning to assert itself in the city`s structure through this new, & sometimes exuberant, architecture. This book offers nine walks to discover
- in different districts
- the multiple aspects of architectural Art Nouveau in Brussels. Witness the personal style of the most important architects as well as decorative methods such as sgraffito. Through interviews with owners, custodians & restorers of Art Nouveau-styled buildings, Brussels Art Nouveau describes the fundamental guardians of this remarkable heritage.
