La photographie d’architecture, par sa capacité d’embellissement, peut paraître mensongère et pourtant, elle est la vérité d’un instant.

Ornament is Crime 

“Absence of ornament has brought the other arts to unsuspected heights,” Austrian architect and theorist Adolf Loos said in a seminal 1910 lecture titled “Ornament and Crime.” Coming out against the Art Nouveau movement, Loos called for “the elimination of ornament from useful objects” and hailed “smooth and precious surfaces” in the name of cultural progress.

This sentiment is the guiding principle of Ornament is Crime: Modernist Architecture, a new book that celebrates modernist architecture from its origins in the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, written by Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill.
