Hardback. Condition: New. Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was a flamboyant character whose presence in the cultural hotbed of early 1900s Vienna galvanized the country's architectural landscape. An early, impassioned advocate of modernism, he all-out rejected the grand Secessionist aesthetic prevalent at the time, as well as any hallmarks of the European fin de siècle. Instead, in lectures and essays, such as the milestone Ornament and Crime of 1908, Loos articulated his "passion for smooth and precious surfaces." He advocated that architectural ornamentation was, by its nature, ephemeral-locked into current trends and styles, and therefore quickly dated. Loos, himself a Classicist at heart, argued instead for simple, timeless designs with time-honored aesthetic and structural qualities. In this essential introduction, we explore Loos's writings, projects, and legacy, from his key concept of "spatial plan" architecture to his rejection of decorative fripperies in favor of opulent, fine-quality materials and crisp lines. Featured projects include Vienna's Café Museum (1899), the fashion store Knize (1913), and the controversial Loos House (1912), which Emperor Franz Joseph I would refuse to travel past, bristling with rage at its insolently minimalist aesthetic.

With his passion for smooth surfaces, fine lines, and spatial plans, Adolf Loos was a prophet of 20th-century architecture. This essential introduction explores his rejection of ornamental forms and his radical pursuit of stark, bold, and beautiful design.

, Sarnitz, August, 1956-, ed. Drei Wiener Architekten. Three Viennese architects, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Gustav Peichl, Roland Rainer. Vienna : Edition Tusch, 1984, second, revised edition, 111pp., sewn PAPERBACK with stiff covers, very good but with old Institute of Technology stamp on copyright page, previous owner's blindstamp on half-title. Text in German and English in facing columns. Volume consists mostly of black and white photos, diagrams, and sketches. Die hier vorgestellten Wiener Architekten, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Gustav Peichl und Roland Rainer, führen den traditionellen Begriff des Bauens als Baukunst fort, und ihre Arbeiten implizieren, daß Bauwerke ihr Sein durch den Ort empfangen. Kontinuität und Kontextualität reflektieren in ihren Arbeiten den Bezug zur Geschichte. Grenzen, temporär und räumlich, sind die relevanten Bestimmungen, innerhalb derer sich das Wesen formt: im Falle von Holzbauer, Peichl und Rainer indizieren der Wiener Traditionalismus, Klassizismus und Aspekte eines typologischen Fundamentalismus eine innovative und sensitive Antwort auf zeitgenössische sozio-kulturelle Erfordernisse. 9783850631488 ISBN 3850631486.
