Brussels is undoubtedly the Art Nouveau capital of the world, The Art Nouveau style emerged at the end of the nineteenth century in opposition to the Eclectic style. It is characterized by its curved lines, rhythmic designs, plays of color, attention to detail and creativity. Today, it forms a major part of the architectural heritage of Brussels.
Art Deco was an early twentieth-century architectural style which emerged after the First World War. It represented a complete stylistic break from Art Nouveau, using straight, streamlined, geometric forms and emphasizing surfaces, volumes, symmetry and contrasts. Brussels contains many heritage buildings that made major contributions to the style's development.
