In The New Interior, Christopher Long examines how, in the course of just seven years immediately prior to the outbreak of World War I, three of the leading Viennese modernists—Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, and Oskar Strnad—redefined the idea of the modern interior. This book follows the progress of their debates and works, and how each designer sought to frame his own distinctive vision of living. The result was a split that carries up to the present day, between the imperatives of style, function, and livability.
Christopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. His many books include Josef Frank: Life and Work (2002), The New Space: Movement and Experience in Viennese Modern Architecture (2016), Essays on Adolf Loos (2019), Adolf Loos: The Last Houses/Poslední domy (2020), and Adolf Loos: Meaning, Context, Reception (2023).
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
