William Morris (London, England 1834 – 1896)
William Morris was an artist,
designer, printer, typographer, bookbinder, craftsman, poet,
writer and champion of socialist ideals. He believes that nature was the perfect example of God's creation.
FOUNDER OF ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT
The Arts and Crafts Movement was a reaction against the poor quality of design during the Industrial Revolution.
The members of the Arts and Crafts Movement believed that the growth of industry had destroyed traditional skills and had removed the pride that a craftsman could find in his
work.
The members of the Arts and Crafts Movement formed themselves into crafts guilds, based on the medieval examples, in order to encourage high standards of design and provide a supportive working environment.

Victor Horta(Belgian architect, 1861 – 1947)
Victor Horta created buildings
which rejected historical styles and marked the beginning of modern architecture. He conceived modern architecture as an abstract principle derived from relations to the environment, rather than on the imitation of forms. Organic forms established by Horta do not meet standard
ideas of modern architecture, but
Horta generated references ideas of many modernist.
THE ART NOUVEAU MOVEMENT
Antonio Gaudi(Spanish architect,1852 – 1926)
Gaudi developed a sensuous,
curving, almost surreal design style which established him as
the innovative leader of the Spanish Art Nouveau movement. With little regard for formal order,
he juxtaposed unrelated systems and altered established visual order. Gaudi's characteristically
warped form of Gothic architecture drew admiration from other avant-garde artists.
Henry Van De Velde(Belgian architect, 1863 – 1957)
Borrowing from his own Flemish background and the English Arts & Crafts movement, Van de Velde developed a highly detailed, style. Using concrete as an expressive element, he created ornamental designs and ornate interiors which directly influenced the Art Nouveau movement.

Louis Henry Sullivan(Boston, 1856 – 1924)
Sullivan's designs generally involved a simple
geometric form decorated with ornamentation based on organic symbolism. As an organizer and formal theorist on aesthetics, he propounded an architecture that exhibited the spirit of the time and needs of the people. Considered one of the most influential forces in the Chicago School, his philosophy that form should always follow function went beyond functional and structural expressions.
He influenced by Hobson Richardson, whom Sullivan was a great admirer.
