Abstract (English)

The editors of this collection have assembled 16 essays in response to Adolf Loos’ seminal essay on modern architecture “Crime and Ornament” (also included). As Ward and Miller note, some of the authors address Loos’ text directly, investigating the extent to which ornament problematizes form and function, while others use "ornament" as a vehicle for reflecting on issues related to contemporary art and culture. Notes on contributors. 193 bibl. ref.
