Adolf Loos 150: lecture by Maria Szadkowska

Architect Adolf Loos, in his article "Architecture," formulated the basic idea of the teaching on living: "A house must please everyone. Unlike a work of art, which does not have to please anyone..." A lecture by Maria Szadkowska, art historian and head of the Center for Modern Architecture Heritage at the Museum of the Capital City of Prague, will introduce the architectural legacy of Adolf Loos and the principles of his work, in which Loos considered the ethical and moral requirements placed on architecture to be more important than aesthetic aspects. The lecture will accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Museum of the Capital City of Prague.
