JOSEF HOFFMANN
1870 - 1956
Josef Hoffman was born in Pirnitz, Moravia (now Chechoslovakia) in
1870. He studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under
Carl von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of a functional,
modern architecture profoundly effected his architectural works. His style
was characterized by great elegance and simple geometric forms. He won
the Rome prize in 1895 and the following year joined the Wagner's office.
