The book also includes an in-depth examination of six of Frank’s houses, including both built projects— the Villas Claëson and Wehtje in Falsterbo, Sweden, and Villa Beer in Vienna—and unrealized ones—House for Vienna XIII, House MS in Los Angeles, and Fantasy House 9 (Accidental House). This section includes images and plans of each of the houses and a close analysis of their specific characteristics. A complete catalog of Frank’s single-family houses rounds out the book.

Summary:
Throughout his life Adolf Loos raised his eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, frivolous ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. His admirers consider him to be the inspiration for all modern architecture. Yet, few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary work reflecting on applied design and the essence of clothing in fin de siècle Vienna. Adolf Loos often had a radical, yet innovative outlook on life that made him such a nuisance for many of his contemporaries. His provocative musings on many subjects portray him as a man of varied interests and intellectual refinement as well as possessing a keen sense of style, which still has value today. For the first time the ‘Loos Dress Code’ is available in English. Included is a short social/historical look as the birth of Modernism in Adolf Loos’ Vienna.

Summary:
Published to accompany an exhibition at the Technisches Museum, Vienna. "Blue. Inventing the River Danube" combines a cultural history of the river with an artistic exploration of its present. The journey begins in Vienna and continue eastwards along the river for two thousand kilometres. Historical photograhs tell the story of how technologyreinvented the Danube from the middle of the 19th century onwards. They depict the development of the continent's second largest river, and its cultural and economic significance for central and south-easthern Europe. The river as it is today is the theme of the artistic work by Iosif Kiraly (Bucharest)and Sophie Ristelhueber (Paris). In winter and spring 2004/2005 the two photographers travelled along the Danube, eastwards and westwards. Kiraly visited places that have been shaped by the industrial age. Ristelhueber followed the Danube along its last few miles to Sulina, the place where the Danube ends and the Black Sea begins.

Summary:
“The Mexican Roof”, built as an architectural signal for an organisation promoting sustainable agriculture, is one of the few examples where a very ambitious project, conceived in the architecture design studio at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, has been successfully translated into reality. Executed by the students themselves in a remote province in Mexico it is basically a roof made out of bamboo that shelters the new community from the sun and collects water, the basis of any kind of growth. It is a conspicuous landmark that also serves very practical functions. The book presents the building process in Mexico starting with the finished roof and going back in time as well, an index that lists the various notions of the conceptual work in Vienna. Special attention is given to a specific method of teaching that encourages students to go for their visions, even if difficult, by providing methods, experience and determination necessary to solve the problems associated with this endeavour.
