Abstract

Summary

The memories of the experience I lived in this house, almost 25 years ago, has accompanied me thoughout development as architect, and comes today to light in this article, showing the complexity of a full of life house, against the superfluous simplification of the contemporary world.

Since that first encounter with the Villa Müller, tied to the placelike a modern fortress, and through a lineal narrative that invokes the sequential routes of the house, the article opens up about that Loos’ haptic vision, capable of viewing and sensing what others can not.

Villa Müller is far more than a walk…, a continuous crossed and ascendingpromenade, that concludes in the rooftop. It is the built manifestation of that labyrinthine house, filled with hidden alveoli from the basement to the attic, where one can found all the lived and dream homes that any man would keep in their subconscious mind. A full of humanity subconscious, that should never have been so caught up in reason.

The article narrates the experience of architecture inside the house as a complex phenomenologicalevent, full of transveral memory. In a place where passing fads live and die, there is no place for Loos, an eternal architect, whose time is yet to come.
