== Architecture ==
* ''Art Nouveau'' style had appeared practically overnight and flourished [[The Edwardian Era|throughout the early 1900s]], swept Europe from end to end, and died just before [[World War I]], never to be fully revived but rather to influence and evolve into Art Deco. It remained so different than either its immediate predecessors or modern styles that in [[Peter Jackson]]'s [[The Lord of the Rings]] films of the 2000s it has been chosen to depict Elven architecture, [[Alien Arts Are Appreciated|specifically because they were supposed to be different from Men in tastes and way of thinking]].
** [[The Other Wiki]] notes that "... it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants but also in curved lines", which would also fit nicely with the perception of Elves as more in tune with nature.
* Art Deco (Art Moderne during the 1920s), from its symmetrical and futuristic designs, was popular and its were widespread throughout the world during [[The Roaring Twenties]] and the 1930s, from skyscrapers, to furniture, to fashion. After the [[The Great Depression|Depression]] lifted during the late 30s and as [[World War Two]] broke out, it declined, and its style didn't help out much during the war. During the 1960s, it was revived as a resurgence of interest.
