Architecural style of Adolf Loos

The Architectural Style of Adolf Loos Adolf Loos was born in Brunn, Czechoslovakia on December 10, 1870. His father was a stonemason and a sculptor, and at a young age he received training in his father's trade. He had much interest in architecture however, and went to Dresden to study it from 1890 to 1893. Then after a few years of working in the United States as a mason, a floor layer, and a dishwasher, Loos returned to Vienna …

…heart into his work. Every design had a reason behind it. Loos was one of the few architects that thought he was better off if he strayed from the norm. He thought that it was better to be original and come up with his own original ideas instead of designing things that have already been designed. These new views were an important part of the transition into the new age of modern architecture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
