About The Seed of Time

The first ornament that was born, the cross, was erotic in origin… But the man of our day who, in response to an inner urge smears the walls with exoticism symbols is a criminal or a degenerate. It goes without saying that this impulse most frequently assails people with such symptoms o degeneracy in the lavatory. Adolf Loos – Ornament and crime (1908) “El primer ornamento que surgió, la cruz, es de origen erótico… Pero el hombre de nuestro tiempo que, a causa de un impulso interior, pintarrajea las paredes con símbolos eróticos, es un delincuente o un degenerado. Es natural que sea en los retretes donde este impulso invade del modo más impetuoso a las personas con tales manifestaciones de degeneración.” Adolf Loos – Ornamento y delito (1908) “Each word we can read praising our old city, in order to save our city that is being demolished, without doubt I find a deeper impact in myself than in others. Therefore, I am being accused from a crime against this old image, a reproof of this kind hurts me stronger than many people believe. Precisely I designed the house to be inserted as good as possible in the plaza… I had the excitement of having solved this problem in terms of our old Viennese master did…” Adolf Loos, article published defending the building of Michaelerplatz and in the local press, 1911. “Cada palabra que podemos leer en alabanza de nuestra vieja ciudad, para la salvación de nuestra ciudad, que se está derrumbando, sin duda encuentra en mí un eco mucho más profundo que en otros. Pero que sea yo, precisamente yo, el que sea acusado de un delito perpetrado contra este antiguo rostro de la ciudad, un reproche de éste género me duele más duramente de lo que muchos creen.
