The publication was born out of Loos’ aversion to a superficial aestheticization of life in Austria, which he saw embodied by the “Wiener Secession” and later on “Wiener Werkstätte” and “Werkbund”. As a counterbalance, in Das Andere he showed his admiration especially for the fashion and culture of England and America. Contemporary advertisements on these subjects were included in the journal, which ran for just two issues. Beatriz Colomina supplements the reprint of Das Andere with an extensive commentary.

Summary:
In the space of barely a decade, the Groningen-based architecture bureau Onix has established an impressive reputation. Far from the hub of Dutch architecture in the Randstad conurbation of major cities in the west of the Netherlands, Onix has been working on its oeuvre with highly idiosyncratic views about the essential aspects of architecture. In many of its projects, such as the much-discussed ecological farm for the disabled in Haren, the bureau seeks out novel positions where the context and specificity of the local play an important role, yet without ever falling into the traps of facile historicizing solutions. Even more important for Onix is the view that contemporary architecture is overly dominated by concepts and images, and too little by actual architectonic experience.
