History of Architecture and Design - Season 1 Episode 12 Adolf Loos
In television broadcast 12, Tim Benton looks at a number of buildings in Vienna designed by Adolf Loos, including the Goldman and Salatsch store, Kniže’s, the Scheu house and the Moller house. These projects illustrate Loos’s characteristic handling of space and concern with craftsmanship and materials. Benton shows how Loos’s work developed from a sophisticated version of Arts and Crafts to something close to the International Style.
