This book examines how crime and ornamentation in architecture and design were linked in early 20th century Vienna under the influence of architect Adolf Loos. Loos promoted the idea that ornamentation in design was a sign of cultural degeneration, and many other thinkers and critics of the time period explored how crime and deviance in society could be manifested through ornamentation in buildings and products. The book brings together scholars to discuss this intersection of crime, deviance, and debates around ornamentation in popular culture and the arts during this era.
