Great Architecture

Any interested in architecture?

Yes I am,and strangely my Son is too,he brings to light all sorts of features I miss in a building .

I'll be back soon

Look forward to it, Bella.

Art Nouveau

I think its the curvy lines that appeal to me

Quote :

The Victorian Era
The architect that most accurately captures the spirit of the Art
Nouveau (or Jugendstil) is, in my opinion, Victor Horta. Horta was born
in 1861 in Gent (Belgium) and started his carreer as a interior
designer in Montmartre, Paris. After his father’s death he moved to
Brussels, where he graduated at the Academy of Arts and received his
first gold medal for his art.
A year after graduating he started his own bureau, entered many
contests and networked a lot, which paid off because Horta became a
very popular artist. His design for the Hotel Tassel in 1893 is
generally seen as the start of the Art Nouveau. He introduced many new
concepts in architecture, which are still used today, for example the
bel étage and the soutterain.

That's magnificent, Bella, and I can hear your elegant steps tapping down those stairs one summer evening.

All dressed up in a glamorous gown ready for my Beau waiting at the bottom of the stair to take me out on the town

I would be there, Bella, with carriage waiting, and beyond that fun and love at your beckoning

The stairs are steep and in my glamourous gown quite trecherous but worth it Im sure , so the carriage will be very welcoming,where will we go to commence the evening of fun and love .The architecture must match the mood

Wherever the lady desires, Bella
