A hallmark throughout was his ability to combine functionalist aspirations with a strong sense of expressionism, as well as a broader and empathetic understanding of urban planning.

Loos, himself a Classicist at heart, argued instead for simple, timeless designs with time-honored aesthetic and structural qualities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRising to prominence in Vienna in the 1890s with commercial retail projects in the city, Loos developed his signature style, introducing the concept of “spatial plan” architecture and eschewing decorative fripperies for opulent, fine-quality materials, rendered in crisp lines. Major projects, such as Vienna’s Café Museum (1899), Loos House (1912), and the fashion store Knize (1913), divided critics, the public, and even royalty—Emperor Franz Joseph I would refuse to travel past Loos House, bristling with rage at its insolently minimalist aesthetic. In this introduction to Adolf Loos, we explore the writings, achievements, and legacy which characterize his work, and which have resounded across decades in the energized architectural conversation between elaborate and elemental aesthetics.\u003c\/div\u003e\nDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e By August Sarnitz\u003cbr\u003e Taschen, 2015\u003cbr\u003e Hardcover, 96 pages\u003cbr\u003e 8.5 x 0.5 x 10.3 inches","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23980248257,"sku":"9783836544672","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1160\/7368\/products\/Loos.png?v=1576697659"},{"product_id":"wright-taschen-basics","title":"F.
