Nature played a significant role in Art Nouveau architecture. Art Nouveau was inspired by the shapes, patterns, and colors found in nature, particularly in plants and flowers. Architects and designers of Art Nouveau incorporated these natural elements into their work, using organic and flowing lines in their designs. They also used natural materials like wood, stone, and metal to create their buildings, and often included plant motifs and sculptures of animals in their decorative elements. This nature-inspired style was a reaction against the industrialization and mass production of the time and sought to reconnect with the beauty and harmony of the natural world.
