Jugendstil is a German term literally meaning 'youth style,' reflecting the movement's association with modernity and youthful innovation. In Brazil and Portugal, Art Nouveau is the more commonly used term, though architectural historians and designers often prefer Jugendstil when specifically referring to the Central European variant of the movement, particularly the Vienna Secession. This style profoundly influenced early 20th-century Brazilian modernist architecture in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
