FAH101H1 Lecture Notes - Secession Building, Adolf Loos, Vienna Secession
Document Summary
Arts and crafts philosophy prominent in england which is strange because. England was so heavily into the industrial revolution. Relates not only to architecture but painting and such. Voysey was a furniture designer and textile designer as well as architect. Designed every detail in the house from the furniture to the designs. Because voysey designed all the interiors it made for a very unified building. Did commission based work (designed a lot of middle class houses) Voysey is sometimes placed in textbooks as one of the pioneers of modern architecture. Voysey did not see himself as an advant garde" architect. He had a strong dislike for what many of the architects were doing at the time. In mackintosh"s work you see both the arts and crafts philosophies embedded in his work as well as references from art nouveau. Mackintosh had a brief architectural career but still had quite a bit of impact. Building was fairly ordered w/ large windows.
