Summary:

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.
