With Adolf Loos: Our contemporary celebrates the centenary of the Looshaus in Vienna and the publication of Adolf Loos' most provocative theoretical text, "Ornament and Crime". The main aim of the exhibition is to depict some significant reactions to Loos from both his closest followers, such as Paul Engelmann, and more distant admirers, such as Ernesto Rogers and Aldo Rossi. The focus of the exhibition is a series of interviews with major contemporary figures on the international scene, including Hans Hollein, Hermann Czech, Alvaro Siza, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Jacques Herzog, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Toyo Ito, David Adjaye, Steven Holl and Preston Scott Cohen.
