the brief.
The project title 'Ornament is not a crime' is referring to the essay 'Ornament and Crime' /Ornament und Verbrechen' (1908) by the Austrian architect Adolf Loos.
He was completely against the Art Nouveau movement which had its height in 1900. Influences during that time came also from the Arts and Crafts movement and later: 'Bauhaus'.
For Loos the evolution of culture is synonymous with the removal of ornamentation from objects of everyday use.
