Adolf Loos's Dvořák mausoleum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1921 the Austrian architect Adolf Loos completed a plan for a mausoleum for the Austrian Czech art historian Max Dvořák, who had died earlier that year.[1] The mausoleum was never built.
In a 1910 essay, Architecture, Loos wrote that "...only a very small part of architecture belongs to the realm of art: The tomb and the monument".[1]
Loos died in 1933. His own tomb was based on a design that he had sketched two years previously, consisting of a square of gray granite.[2]
