| Description |
Nice small Loos houses serve as an example at the Werkebundsiedlung in Vienna of 1932. In these houses the ‘raumplan’ would be demonstrated to the public for the first time. Originally these houses were planned for the werkebundsiedlung in Stuttgart in 1927, but after an argument with the authorities (Loos was accused of having anti German feelings), his place at the Weissenhof siedlung was given to Victor Bourgeois. It will be clear that here in Vienna, five years after Stuttgart, the ‘raumplan’ was no longer the hot issue as Loos had built several ‘raumplan’ houses already. |
