4.0 out of 5 stars Review of major works, January 27, 2005

Eugene Tenenbaum "reluctant reader" (Bronx, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Adolf Loos (Paperback)

This is a paperback survey of major works at only 9.5 x 6 inches on 196 pages with a biography, writings, project grouped as renovations (apartments, stores, cafes), individual houses, mixed-use buildings and workers' housing, monumental buildings and large projects, and also analysis of Loos's architecture and bibliography, and contains 150 only B&W illustrations, of which at least a half is technical (plans, sections, sketches, elevations, etc.), but also B&W photos of a good quality.
