Art Nouvau

Probably unpopular but Brutalist.
You can only understand the beauty in Brutalism though, if you can appreciate the utopia and ultimate form vs. function which the design was looking to achieve.
It was a dream. Often a failed dream, but such optimism for the modernist future that never materialised.
