Customer Reviews

Corb and Loos
An excellent book! Very well documented with plans, sections, elevations and models. The models are especially informative because they are primarily section models that illustrate the spatial differences between Corb and Loos. The book also dispell the misconception that Corb's houses were white. The original color schemes of the various houses are displayed in the models. A great book for students of theses two giants.

Astounding collection of Loos' and Corb's domestic work
Comparing the houses of Corb and Loos is an interesting thesis, and the interpreting essays by Max Risselada, Stanislaus von Moos, Johan van de Beek, Arjan Hebly, and Beatriz Colomina is great scholarship. But the plans, sections, and other diagrams for all of the projects that are included are just terrific. This book is a treasure chest of Corb's and Loos' domestic work. There can't be a more complete collection of Loos' work anywhere, and reading his plans is like reading a book. I can spend hours looking at them.
