Architectural History
Ornament has been partof the tradition
of architecture
at all times and places
in human history.
In his 1908 essay
Ornament and Crime
architect Adolf Loos
expresses his philosophy
that ornamentation
can have the effect
of causing objects
to go out of style
and thus become obsolete.
This essay is important
in articulating new views,
later inherited
from the Arts and Crafts
movement,
which is fundamental
to the Bauhaus
and helped define
the ideology of modernism.
Not only simplification
of form
and the elimination
of ornament,
but also the social matters
of affordable housing
in the growing cities
were crucial.
Architect
Frank LloYd WriGht's
first commission
in Los Angeles,
the HollYhock House
showed that new needs
also can result in
groundbreaking designs
and the use
of new materials.
Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius,
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
and Frank LloYd WriGht
are just a few architects
who influenced each other.
