“ORNAMENT AND CRIME: THE DECISIVE CONTRIBUTION OF ADOLF LOOS.”装饰与罪恶

  Decoration and evil

  Let's discuss about decorative design

     

    "Ornament and Crime" is often seen as a typical modernist essay, but this is a great      misunderstanding. In fact, Adolf Luth attacked the "separation" and opposed Van der · Weld and "Vienna Manufacturing Workshop" article. For the reference to Luce's radical view that "decoration is sin", if it is separated from the specific environment of his speech, it is easy to misunderstand and ignore the contradiction and complexity of Luce's theory. Therefore, it is necessary to re-recognize Luss and his theoretical views on "unbelievable mystery."

       In the article "Adolf Luz: Decoration is not sin", it is pointed out that Luss accuses the decorative means used as a "separationist": there is no perfect combination of form and function design, and the process and cost of applying materials are not from the material itself. Starting from this, the design cannot meet the requirements of mechanized production and the consumption requirements of the public. Therefore, he pointed out that the decoration of the "separation faction" is sinful.

     I think that the decorative design must meet the unity of function and form, the unity of practicality and beauty. There is a saying that is light decoration, heavy decoration, I think it is not sin, but an attitude, attitude towards the pursuit of beauty. Think about it, a building looks beautiful and textured from the outside, but when you think of it, it just puts a layer of tiles on the surface, which may make you discount its beauty.

       Decoration can satisfy aesthetic and emotional needs and can create value. However, in reality, the decoration of snakes adds to the senses, destroys the sense of beauty, and influences the use of decorations. They can be convicted. Nowadays, many products are attached with complicated, redundant, and influential functions. Can you also scream "function is sinful"?
