The full swathe from Art Nouveau/Jugendstil through Art Deco/Moderne and Bauhaus functionalism through to 1950s modernism. If I had to be more specific, Iโd focus on British interwar modernism.

Second Art Nouveau. Art Deco is nice, but I think over played as a throwback.
Also a fan of a neoclassical Italianate style. Square columns, low flat roofs, towers and tall thin windows. It can vary, but when done in a clean and simple style, it's very nice IMO.
Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I'd also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.
Hey I love Union Terminal! Great museum. And you're right, the building is beautiful. The massive mural in the entrance area is my favorite piece of any building I know of.
Iโd like for Baroque furniture to come back. Hella sturdy.
Generally speaking, art deco, for houses specifically, Georgian.
19th century german architecture + red brick Gothic.
There's some good Art Deco in Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley
I might have to check it out, thanks!
Art deco rules so much
Check out art deco metal band Imperial Triumphant
Something that doesn't look or feel like it was made at a factory
Likewise, it's beautiful, so elegant.
Anything that is not a square shaped shit brick like so much of the past 50 years.
