On Essences and Spaces - Behrens and Loos*

Karin Šerman

Abstract

This paper elaborates the tentatively posed thesis of a specific reciprocity between the perceived structure of the age and adequately constructed physical framework as its necessary, natural setting. It examines how architectural space responded to distinctive readings of the same complex socio-historical condition in the period of transition from the 19th to 20th century. The thesis is developed on the architectural and theoretical work of the two famous contemporaries - Peter Behrens and Adolf Loos.
