paperback. Condición: Near Fine. DETAILS: sewn PAPERBACK, near fine. SARNITZ, AUGUST. Adolf Loos, 1870-1933: architect, cultural critic, dandy. Cologne, Germany: Taschen, 2003, 96pp., . Widely regarded as one of the most significant prophets of modern architecture, Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was a star in his own time, known throughout Vienna as an outspoken, audacious dandy and moralist who defied the establishment. His work not only represented the beginning of modernism, with its stark, unornamented style, but also revolutionized architecture by introducing the concept of "spatial plan" architecture, which allowed for economizing space by designating rooms' sizes and heights based on their purposes. Loos also published numerous essays during his lifetime, the most notable of which is the oft-misunderstood "Ornament and Crime." - CONTENTS: Introduction -- "The Poor Little Rich Man" -- Cafe Museum -- Turnowsky Apartment -- Adolf Loos Apartment -- Villa Karma -- Karntner Bar -- House on Michaelerplatz -- Steiner House -- Knize Men's Outfitters -- Scheu House -- Lainz Housing Development -- Chicago Tribune Column -- Spanner Country House -- Tristan Tzara House -- Josephine Baker House -- Moller House -- Villa Muller -- Khuner Country House -- Model Houses -- "Ornament and Crime" -- Life and Work -- General Maps. 9783822827727 ISBN 382282772X 12.40.

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.
