 Somehow, Loos found himself in that process and
returned to Vienna in 1896 a man of taste and intellectual
refinement, immediately entering the Viennese
intelligentsia.

The principles and elements of design
I think Adolf loos’ buildings have used texture for the
roof, like this picture. It also have a special form and it
Is different from the other buildings because it has a
special shape and not just like a normal one.
The Raiffeisen bank is Loos' most
famous building, One of the first
modern office buildings in Vienna,
the steel concrete construction
provides wide structural spans with
flexible space use.
Thanks for watching!
