...their odd and luscious details. His best buildings, like the Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904-08), stick rather intently to a naked neoclassicism. His supposed apotheosis, the Palais Stoclet (1905-11), is handsome in elevation but ponderously classical in plan and, in all, fussy and overrich. Loos used lavish materials too, but with a redeeming simplicity. He was a hard-liner about tarting up facades: "Ornament equals crime," he wrote.

The 300 was an international event, perhaps the most lavish university party in the country's history, with 2400 scholars from around the world attending along with representatives from 530 universities, colleges and learned societies...
