More From Adolf Loos
- "Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art."
- "Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect’s task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise."
- "The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present."
