Around 140 years ago, factories and other industrial buildings became common in cities. These huge structures were often built near older houses that looked like temples or castles. To many architects of the day, the fancy houses seemed old-fashioned, while the industrial buildings seemed cold and unfriendly.

These architects wanted to give their cities a new look, with buildings that resembled nature. So they created houses with decoration that looked like flowers and vines. And most importantly of all — not one of these structures was exactly the same as the next. Art Nouveau, Modernisme, Secessionism, Jugendstil, or the Arts and Crafts Movement: Different countries had their own term for the new style.

And their artists not only made houses but also subway stations, kiosks, bathrooms, and even everyday objects into forms that looked like they had grown in nature. Yet one man, the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), outdid everyone else when he began building the church of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona in 1883.
