Josef Hoffmann
(1870-1956)
Hoffmann studied architecture at the University of Vienna with the
famous architect Otto Wagner. After completing his studies he spent
some time in Italy. The Italian country house, cubic, whitewashed,
with windows carved irregularly out of the walls inspired his first
architectural works. Like many of his contemporaries, Hoffman wanted
to create a complete work of art: "I believe that a house has to be
made from one piece and that its exterior should reveal its
interior. His highest commitment was to the "permanent quest for
better materials and the effort for an ever more perfect
representation". His style was characterized by simplicity,
integrity and precision. His designs were characterized by clear
forms and geometric ornaments.
