Adolf Franz Karl Viktor Maria Loos [1] (German pronunciation: [ˈaːdɔlf ˈloːs]; 10 December 1870 – 23 August 1933) was an Austrian and Czechoslovak architect, influential European theorist, and a polemicist of modern architecture.
Loos's immediate and extended relations—the Beck, Hirsch, Turnowsky, and Kraus families—and her friends the Semlers were some of Adolf's first clients. They hired him to remodel apartment interiors in Plzeň and Vienna, and it was there that Adolf first began to open up the "interstitial spaces" between walls to create continuous rooms.
