    Romuel Ogahayon
    Art Nouveau was an international style of applied art from the late 19th to early 20th century. It was characterized by organic and flowing forms inspired by nature, with long sinuous lines and incorporation of natural elements like flowers and vines into decorative designs. Notable examples include Casa Batlló in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí and the Secession Building in Vienna, which served as a meeting place for Art Nouveau artists. The style emphasized applying artistic designs to everyday objects and sought to integrate fine and decorative arts.

    ART NOUVEAU STRUCTURES
    1. Casa Batlló

     – BarcelonaOne of Gaudi’s most impressive designs, Casa Battló sparks anyone’s


    imagination. You can see that Gaudí, like most Art Nouveau artists, was inspired by nature:
    there are few straight lines, the building seems to ‘move’ like sea waves. Mosaic patterns
    remind viewers of fish scales, and the structure of the building has a skeletal look. The
    house was redesigned by Antoni Gaudí in 1904 for Josep Batlló I Casanovas.
    2. Museum of Applied Arts

     – BudapestThe green roof of the Hungarian Museum of Applied Arts is made of Zsolnay
    porcelain tiles that illuminate in the sun. The building was designed by Ödön Lechner and
    Gyula Pártos, built between 1893 and 1896. Different architectural styles are mixed to
    create a sense of unity.
    3. Secession Building

     – ViennaThis building is not just a fine example of Art Nouveau architecture, but was also
    the place where Secession artists (the Austrian variant of Art Nouveau) used to meet. Their
    motto is written in gold: “Der Zeit ihre Kunst/ der Kunst ihre Freiheit” (“To every age its
    art. To every art its freedom.”). The building is decorated with thousands of laurel leafs and
    berries. It was designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich.
    4. Majolikahaus

     – ViennaThis building, designed by Otto Wagner in 1898, was named after the pink
    majolica (a type of Italian, tin-glazed pottery from the Renaissance era) plates on the
    roadside. Another great example of the Secession style.
    5. Jubilee Synagogue

     – PragueThis building (1906) was originally named in honour of the silver Jubilee (25th
    anniversary) of Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph Ι. But when Czechoslovakia became
    independent in 1918 the name was changed to the Jerusalem Synagogue due to its location
    on Jerusalem street. Designer William Stiassny combined Art Nouveau with the exotic
    Moorish Revival style, resulting in a colourful and oriental inspired building with
    exceptional details.
