ORNAMENT AND CRIME BY ADOLF LOOS

Figure 1 Book written by Adolf  Loos about ornament

Adolf Loos discovered that only the removal of ornament of the past to let the cultural evolution succeed. But the new source is given by Adolf Loos which he thought to be helpful to the world was not accepted by the people. The ornament existed for a long time. The world needs to have some changes to improve the country's development.

Adolf Loos think that decoration is bondage to humanity. So he gave the new source which will free the human from the decoration. But people do not want to be free from the bondage. The state moved backward when the state subsidized for the decoration which Adolf Loos disagreed with it. 

He said that the rhythm of cultural progress has been blocked because of the stragglers. When you live in 1908 but you or your friends still live in 1880. It will waste time for the country to develop.

The two types of people in which the twentieth and nineteenth-century will have the same needs, the same income but in different cultural. From the economics part, the people in the twentieth century more richer than the people in the nineteenth-century as they just need simple things. The twentieth-century people can pay for his needs with much less capital and can save because of the simple and lesser things. But the other man doesn't. He wants complex things which will cause a lot of money and time.

Therefore, more the damage ornament inflicts on the workers. As ornament needs to hire the labour to make it. Besides, the labours need to bear the heavy workload but just get little salary. Ornament is wasted labour and hence wasted health. Then, it is also waste material, and waste capital.

Last but not least, it's true that the ornament brings crime but it's still indispensable elements that contribute to the architecture.
