The Art Nouveau movement emerged in the late 19th century and reached its zenith from 1890s to the early 1900s, just as [[Burgundie]] was forming its identify as a nation. The style was perfect for a new nation as it was a reaction against the historicism of the 19th century, which had often copied past architectural styles, like [[Culture in Burgundie#Neo_Beaux-Arts|Neo Beaux Arts]]. Architects and artists of the movement sought to create something entirely new and modern. It also took influence of [[Oyashima]]ese art, particularly ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Artists were captivated by the asymmetry, flowing lines, and emphasis on nature found in [[Oyashima]]ese prints. This sense of internationalism made the new nation feel important, and global, while also recalling the massive [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]]. | The Art Nouveau movement emerged in the late 19th century and reached its zenith from 1890s to the early 1900s, just as [[Burgundie]] was forming its identify as a nation.

Neo Art Nouveau architecture is a revival of the Art Nouveau style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterized by its emphasis on organic, flowing forms, ornate detailing, and a fascination with nature, Neo Art Nouveau architecture brings the aesthetics of the past into contemporary design. This style is marked by a fusion of tradition and innovation, celebrating the timeless elegance of Art Nouveau while adapting to the needs and materials of the modern world. | |||
Key features: | |||
*Neo Art Nouveau architecture retains the sinuous and flowing lines of its predecessor. Buildings often feature undulating facades, curved balconies, and decorative elements that mimic the shapes of plants and natural forms. These curvilinear designs create a sense of movement and fluidity. | |||
*Stylized botanical and floral motifs are a hallmark of Neo Art Nouveau architecture. These motifs can be found in decorative elements such as wrought ironwork, stained glass windows, ceramic tiles, and mosaics. The designs are often intricate and celebrate the beauty of nature. | |||
*Similar to the original Art Nouveau style, Neo Art Nouveau often embraces asymmetry, departing from the strict symmetry of earlier architectural styles. This allows architects to create visually dynamic and whimsical compositions that evoke the spontaneity of nature. | |||
*While Neo Art Nouveau architects draw inspiration from the past, they also embrace modern materials and construction techniques. This fusion of tradition and innovation allows for the creation of sustainable and energy-efficient buildings that pay homage to the historical style. | |||
*Neo Art Nouveau values the integration of art and craftsmanship, upholding the tradition of the total work of art. This approach ensures that architecture, interior design, and decorative arts work harmoniously together. | |||
*Many Neo Art Nouveau architects prioritize sustainability and eco-friendly design principles. This reflects a contemporary concern for the environment and a desire to integrate architectural beauty with responsible construction practices. | |||
The emergence of Neo Art Nouveau architecture can be understood as a response to a renewed interest in historical styles, a desire for more expressive and ornate designs, and an appreciation for the natural world. It started in the 1990s with the [[BurgunFri]] movement and has blossomed since them. As concerns for the environment grew, Neo Art Nouveau architecture resonated with those who wished to reconnect with nature and incorporate sustainable design practices into their buildings. It also took wing as new technologies and innovations in engineering caught up to the whimsical nature of the style. It also paid homage to the founding moments of [[Burgundie]] as a unified nation and the [[House of Palacin]] really leaned into that as they established their dynasty in the early 2000s. | |||
