Adolf Loos

Adolf Loos, master of Austrian modernism, revolutionized architecture with his rejection of ornament, promoting a functional and essential aesthetic, expressed in iconic works such as the Looshaus in Vienna.

Born in Brno (Czech Republic) in 1870, he studied at the Royal Saxon Polytechnic Institute in Dresden. He did his military service in Vienna, where he met several avant-garde artists. In 1896, after spending three years in the United States, he returned to Vienna, beginning his career as an interior designer and critic. His hallmark is the repulsion for ornament, strongly promoted by the Secessionists, the Viennese branch of Art Nouveau. He died in Kalksburg, Austria, in 1933.
