The Architectural flowers of Samara

Modern, Art Nouveau, Secession… as soon as we hear this word, we imagine a lovely picture, something attractive and magical. Even if we don't know the basics of architecture, we assume that these buildings would be truly beautiful. Like flowers they blossom in cities all around the world, and bring beauty to the streets.
