Assignment:
In the text and in lecture, we have learned about how the many Art Nouveau movements were representative of “coming into being”. Examples include Victor Horta’s pea shoot like columns in the staircase at Hotel Tassel or Antoni Gaudi’s biomorphic forms in Casa Battlo.
For your assignment, I want you to discuss your understanding of what “coming into being” means in the context of Art Nouveau. Give appropriate examples from the period. Then, I want you to address the idea of “coming into being” using today’s technology. Some avenues for exploration include the virtual world, high tech materials and issues of sustainability.
Please include images that inform your paper. Images do not contribute to the length of the text.
