Junge Meister: Architekten aus der Schule Otto Wagners in Mahren und Schlesien

摘要

Although he is now inextricably linked with the Vienna of the first decades of the last century, Adolf Loos was not a native Viennese. Raised and educated early on in the province of Brno, in Moravia (now in the Czech Republic), he continued throughout his life to maintain a strong bond with his native land, building many of his works there. But Loos was hardly an exception. A sizeable number of the most important early modernist architects and designers in Vienna hailed from the Czech lands, among them Josef Maria Olbrich, Josef Hoffmann, Hubert Gess-ner, and Leopold Bauer.
