Art and architectural styles were influenced by discoveries of that era. Say Art Deco were influenced by archeological discoveries, mostly of midd east. Art Novo were influenced by contacts with orient.

Computer certainly had influenced architectural tastes, even so that old fashioned projects was termed as pre internet projects.

An interesting question is, do fractals influence modern art forms and at what extent they do influence artistic design.

Yeah I reckon so ...I'd go further and say the Universe is mathematical and fractal based and so all art as part of the Universe mimics the whole and thus all art is fractal based including paintings and hand sculptures.

Well all art reflects the age in which it was made, so all modern artists in industrialized societies must be influenced by fractals to some degree. For many the influence is entirely subconscious, for others it is just a vague idea, while other artists have made a point of consciously and purposefully incorporating fractals - for example Alex Grey:



Also, many art historians have posited that some great artists have an uncanny ability to "predict" major historical movements (like fractals). Looked at in this way, I would say that abstract expressionist painters such as Jackson Pollock and architects like Antoni Gaudi were influenced by fractals decades before 'fractal' was even a word. Indeed, since all of nature is fractal and artists have always been influenced by nature, this shouldn't come as a surprise. In fact, modern researchers have actually used sophisticated techniques to measure the fractal dimension of Pollock's work, and many of his later paintings are highly "fractal", ranging from 1.4 to 1.9 in dimension. But he did not need to know any of this formalization to make great art, he just listened to his intuition about what looked good.
