Editing Ornament and Crime (section)

==History==
Contrary to popular belief that it was composed in 1908, Adolf Loos first gave the lecture in 1910 at the Akademischer Verband für Literatur und Musik in Vienna. The essay was then published in 1913 in {{lang|fr|Les Cahiers d’aujourd’hui}} in French as {{Lang|fr|Ornement et Crime}}. Only in 1929 was the essay published in German in the {{lang|de|[[Frankfurter Zeitung]]}}, as {{Lang|de|Ornament und Verbrechen}}. It was the architect [[Henry Kulka]], who assisted Loos during a reprint of the essay in 1931 in {{lang|de|Trotzdem}}, that altered the original year to 1908 after he consulted Loos, who either didn't remember well or wanted to assume primacy in the confrontation against the [[Secession (art)|Secessionists]].<ref>Christopher Long, [https://web.archive.org/web/20181021111431/http://apps.acsa-arch.org/resources/proceedings/uploads/streamfile.aspx?path=ACSA.AM.85&name=ACSA.AM.85.107.pdf “Ornament, Crime, Myth, and Meaning”], ''85th ACSA Annual Meeting Proceedings, Architecture: Material and Imagined'', 1997.</ref>
