“The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.”

Adolf Loos
Adolf Loos was an influential Austrian architect known for his modernist designs and his theory of 'Ornament and Crime'. Born on December 10, 1870, in Brno, Moravia, Loos studied architecture in Vienna and began his career designing residential buildings. His early work was influenced by Art Nouveau, but he soon developed his own modernist aesthetic. Loos's theory, 'Ornament and Crime', argued against unnecessary architectural ornamentation, emphasizing functionality and honesty in design. His most notable works include the Loos House in Vienna and the Steiner House in Prague. His ideas significantly influenced modern architecture and he is considered a key figure in the De Stijl movement. more
