Whenever somebody talks about Loos in an architecture context the immediate presumption is that they are talking about Adolf. However this exhibition is dedicated to one of his younger colleagues and namesake: Walter Loos (1905 – 1974), whose estate was entrusted to the Az W in 2003. Walter Loos was also an architect and a furniture designer, a Bohemian ... and emigrated.
Although this Loos' oeuvre as an architect is not very extensive his buildings in Austria and Argentina are among the most interesting of their time. He has been forgotten, among other reasons, because he did not complete any public buildings or publish any theoretical writings, and from 1940 onwards he moved off the Austrian radar, so to speak, to distant Argentina.
The exhibition 'The Unknown Loos: Walter' at the Architekturzentrum Wien is accompanied by a survey compiled by Michael Bier of Austrians who went on to work as architects in the various South American states following their emigration (Paraíso Latinoamericano).

Adolfo Winternitz was born in 1906 in Vienna and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts until his emigration to Peru in 1939. During that same year he founded the Department of Visual Art at the Catholic University in Lima, which he headed artistically and pedagogically for more than 50 years. Through his teaching work he influenced several generations of artists in Peru and became a guiding figure in the country’s art.
The Leopold Museum will be presenting the first ‘Winternitz exhibition’ in Europe since the artist’s death in 1993. The exhibition has been created in close cooperation with the Catholic University and the Institute for North American Studies in Lima.
