Victor Horta and His Contemporaries

Synopsis
Victor Horta was more than just an exponent of the Art Nouveau style. His buildings exhibit highly original plans, many of which incorporate light wells and internal winter gardens. The slides show Horta’s buildings in Brussels and details of work there by some of his contemporaries. Balat’s Royal Glass Houses were one of the main influences on Horta.
