Why Criticize?Why Contradiction?——Rereading Adolf Loos's Ornament and Crime
Ornament and Crime is a resounding critical essay.In this article,the author carefully rereads the text and connects it with other articles,while assisting with the contextual analysis generated by the text,hoping to answer some questions that have not been discussed in previous research.This article argues that regardless of the East or the West,"ornament"itself is a complex word with multiple meanings,possessing both cultural and spiritual significance,as well as contemporary and material characteristics.In Loos's view,culturalism is a deterministic and rational existence,therefore attention should be paid to the organic nature of decoration;Timeliness is an uncertain existence,so it should be left for time to choose,rather than subjective intervention by designers.Therefore,he deliberately emphasizes the former and belittles the latter,while firmly opposing decorations that lose both attributes at the same time.
