Summary: From the inside flap - " Adolf Loos Panayotis Tournikiotis - Viennese architect Adolf Loos was one of the most important pioneers of the European Modern movement. Born in 1870, he was an early opponent of the decorative trends of Art Nouveau, believing instead that architecture devoid of ornament represented pure and lucid thought. His rationalist theories were put into practice in his designs for the American Bar, Vienna ( 1907) ; Steiner House, Vienna ( 1920); and Villa Muller, Prague ( 1930). Surprisingly, there is no English - Language monograph on Loos currently available. Adolf Loos covers the architect's diverse works - his writings, renovations, and architectural designs - and is richly illustrated with two hundred black-and-white images."
