In this book of eight essays, the noted architectural historian Christopher Long takes on the meanings of Adolf Loos's writings and design work, the cultural world in which he was embedded, and how he was regarded by the critics and public. Long exposes and explodes old myths about Loos, fostering in the process a new, brilliant, and compelling view of one of the modern architecture's key protagonists.
