Josef Hoffmann
Josef Hoffmann was an Austrian-German architect whose work was important in the early development of modern architecture in Europe.
As a founding member of the Vienna Sezession he helped evolve the decorative Art Nouveau into a more minimal and standardised modernism. Yet their interest in craft and materiality continued, as seen in his iconic buildings such as the Purkersdorf Sanatorium and the Stoclet Palace.
