    Crime and Ornament : The Arts and Popular Culture in the Shadow of Adolf Loos

    No full text
    The editors of this collection have assembled 16 essays in response to Adolf Loos’ seminal essay on modern architecture “Crime and Ornament” (also included). As Ward and Miller note, some of the authors address Loos’ text directly, investigating the extent to which ornament problematizes form and function, while others use "ornament" as a vehicle for reflecting on issues related to contemporary art and culture.
