Das Andere : Ein Blatt zur Einführung abendländischer Kultur in Österreich /

In 1903, Adolf Loos, one of the most influential architects and critics of the 20th century, published the journal Das Andere. No topic was off-limits and it soon became one of the most significant documents of the modern era and a manual for modern life. Sometimes shockingly radical, it shows Loos's aversion to the hypocrisy and superficiality of life in Austria, counterbalanced by his admiration for the culture of the Western world. Accompanying this facsimile edition is an extensive commentary by architecture historian Beatriz Colomina, which puts the journal into a larger context, and--for the first time--an English translation of Das Andere --back cover.Facsimile reprint of 2 issues of the periodical "Das Andere" published in Vienna in 1903, with commentary and translation into English.Issued in folder and plastic slipcase.Title from folder.Includes bibliographical references.[Vol. 1] Nr. 1.[Vol. 2] Nr. 2.[Vol. 3] English translation.In 1903, Adolf Loos, one of the most influential architects and critics of the 20th century, published the journal Das Andere.
