Adolf Loos (1870-1933), riconosciuto come uno dei più significanti profeti dell'architettura moderna, era una star dei suoi tempi, conosciuto come un dandy audace e moralista che sfidava l'establishment. Le sue opere rappresentano non solo l'inizio del modernismo, ma introdussero anche il concetto di architettura degli spazi. Loos pubblicò anche numerosi saggi durante la sua vita, il più notevole dei quali è lo spesso incompreso "Ornament and crime". Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali

The study analyses their morphology, mostly monumental, outside the city limits, and loaded inside and outside with ornaments and visible symbols of Judaism.

"Barcelona" presents a study-in text and photographic image-of one of the most architecturally fascinating and impressive cities in the world. From the Gaudí cathedral to Albert Viaplana and Helio Piñón's recent Centre de Cultura Contemporània, from the Palau de la Musica to the Dali Museum, what we find is a city whose magnificent strength lies in the coexistence of its amazingly diverse and historically disparate variety of structures. The city of Barcelona absorbs new influences and maintains traditions organically, avoiding a sense of fragmentation for a sense of exuberance and...
