OOSTENS-WITTAMER Yolande A, Horta, The Solvay House, Brussels 1894-1903. UNESCO Wold Heritage, Diane de Selliers Éditeur, Paris, 2005, 48p.

Yolande A. Oostens-Wittamer, the daughter of Berthe and Louis Wittamer, the owners who succeeded the Solvay Family, presents the fruit of years of direct experience of the Solvay House. She demonstrates that beyond the mere beauty, Horta's architecture provides a quality of life which has had effects on daily life of its occupants, on the city, on the country and on the world. She illustrates that, in Horta's work, choices of priorities are fed by deep ethical roots, adding a lasting dimension of his good business practice. These choices that made Horta successful are still relevant to the builders of today.
