Summary:

Le projet d'Adolf Loos pour le Chicago Tribune fait toujours énigme. L'architecte se place à contre-courant du formalisme moderne, qui demain déjà sera obsolète. Il prend l'arrogance du commanditaire au pied de la lettre pour mieux la révéler. Il raille les désirs de l'époque en proposant d'installer, si les limites de hauteur pouvaient être abolies un jour, une statue de tribun romain assis au sommet de la colonne dorique. Il avertit pourtant: ce projet ne contredit en rien ses positions théoriques antérieures à propos de l'ornement. Loos nous avait alertés. La tour n'est pas un archétype, elle est un artefact.
