This insightful book, by one of the leading scholars on Adolf Loos, explores Loos’s last houses, those he designed in the final three years of his life. Presenting numerous plans and photographs of Loos’s late works for the first time, it suggests new ways of understanding his Raumplan concept and how the architect rethought his ideas of space and spatial planning.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
