The Art Nouveau course provides a thoughtful look into this movement in Brussels, moving beyond the surface to explain the philosophy behind the style. It was fascinating to see how architects like Victor Horta and Paul Hankar used materials like iron and glass to create what they called a 'total work of art,' where every detail from the staircase to the furniture feels connected. By exploring both famous landmarks and the decorative arts, the modules show how these organic designs shaped the city's identity and still influence how we think about functional beauty today. It’s a great resource for anyone who wants to truly understand the history and craftsmanship found on the streets of Brussels. A very interesting course.
