Adolf Loos and Czech architecture

This is a Reprint of the catalog of the exhibition Adolf Loos and Czech Architecture, which took place in 1984. Adolf Loos became widely known with his article Ornament and Crime (first published in 1923 in the magazine Náš smě), sometimes mistaken for "Ornament is a crime". Behind this motto lies a deeper understanding of living as a way of living on earth, an understanding of the terrain in which a person finds himself, his transformation into rhythmic shapes according to human life, his formation into human space. The catalog contains a list of literature devoted to Adolf Loos and his activities and influence in Czechoslovakia. Furthermore, a list of all his articles published in Czechoslovakia and his complete architectural work in this area. You will also find Loos biographical data here. All this is crowned by a quality text by Vladimír Šlapeta.
