You are but you don't realize it. Art Nouveau and Baroque are classical 'architectural' styles that don't deal with space and tectonics but with decoration, which is what Interior Design serves to do today. Also, those styles aren't 'timeless' like Beaux-Arts Neoclassicsm seems to have become; they both emerged for a very brief time because of very specific and very poignant social and cultural factors, and then both died for the same reason--the people creating and funding projects in those styles realized they weren't good architecture that dealt with space in plan and section but with the application of paint and ornament, which isn't architecture.
