A Study on the Abstract of Adolf Loos |
| Abstract |
The concept of 'Bekleidung(Dressing)' which was derived form the theory of Gottfried Semper, contradicts with the honest expression of material and consturction. Maybe 'Bekleidung' and 'Tectonics' might be the most important two motives in the development of modern architecture, but the former, as compared with latter, has been treated only negatively. In fact, the abstract 'Bekleidung' deprived of Gemperian symbolic ornament, roles as fundamental agent for estabilishing the modern architectural aesthetics composed with surface-volume. These aspects originated from the Adolf Loos's architecture. From this point of view, this study interpretates the abstract 'Bekleidung' of Adolf Loos without qualities as a screen for reticence of non-cultural reality(exterioty) and projection of Raumplan(interiority), which was impossible to reconcile harmoniously. |
