It gives an insight into where and how Horta conceived his designs. The second part discusses fundamental themes of Horta's architecture, such as the rhetorical use of structure, the innovative use of materials, and the use of light in the development of the dynamic plan. The third part explores the relation between Horta's invention of Art Nouveau and the colonial enterprise of King Leopold II. This publication is illustrated with maps, plans, and unpublished photographic material commissioned by Victor Horta. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for Mercatorfonds \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBozar, Brussels\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (October 2023-January 2024)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIwan Strauven\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of architectural history at ULB. \u003cb\u003eBenjamin Zurstrassen\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of the Horta Museum, Brussels.
