adolf loos
Adolf Loos (1870 – 1933) was an Austrian architect, among the forerunners of modern architecture. His most famous projects include the renovation of Villa Karma, Villa Steiner, the Looshaus and the Scheu House. Loos conceived architecture as a direct expression of the culture of people, and considered the ornamentation on buildings to be an avoidable, if not downright childish and useless excess.
