Adolf Loos Part One

A talk by Philip Boyle

Recorded Tuesday 17th January, 2023

At The Gallery, London EC1

This talk explores the significance of Adolf Loos (1870-1933), as both a theorist and maker of architecture.

Philip Boyle will argues that Loos’ work in Europe from the end of the 19th century changed the scope of what ‘modern architecture’ could be for most of the important of 20th century architects who followed him.

“If architecture is important it should be possible to engage with it - (it can just be functional, and that is just fine). But if you engage with it, then it becomes both modern and art.”

Philip will return to this subject later in the spring, with part two of this talk.
