Some good points made re- relative styles. The problem is that there is not a great deal of either real Art Nouveau or Deco in the UK as they were viewed with suspicion as nasty foreign styles. The sublime DelaWarr Pavilion in Bexhill was heavily criticised at the time for being too continental and worst of all, designed by a Jew!!! Now thankfully we seem to be more enlightened (although sometimes I wonder). The closest we got to Art Nouveau was Arts and Crafts so we should be very proud of the Horniman as it is probably one of the most faithful to AN we have in this country (along with the Whitechapel Gallery by the same architect). We should also be proud of our inter-war examples with Six Pillars as an outstanding example of modernism and Welcome Aboard as a more commercial and acceptable Deco version. I rather like "Regina" just along from Welcome Aboard - pure and simple and nicely looked after. Sorry, I will take my anorak off now and calm down with a quick fan with a copy of Blueprint. Phew!
