The early works of Victor Horta: The origins of art nouveau architecture. (Volumes I and II)
Abstract
dc:description"In 1893 Victor Horta, a young Belgian architect who had built only a handful of relatively insignificant structures, designed the Tassel House. The popularity of the decorative style which Horta introduced in it and developed in the series of masterpieces which rapidly followed, has resulted in far more attention being paid to Horta's ornament than to his unprecedented and ultimately more significant architectural innovations. The most important of these was, as Henry van de Velde noted, ""the first appearance of the 'open plan'... (which) spread rapidly and vanquished everything in opposition.""$\sp1$"
