==Death and legacy== [[File:Villa-Mueller-Prag-3.jpg|thumb|[[Villa Müller]] in Prague]] Adolf Loos exhibited early signs of [[dementia]] around the time of his court proceedings. A few months before his death he suffered a [[stroke]]. He died aged 62 on 23 August 1933 in [[Kalksburg]] near [[Vienna]].<ref name="Bock">{{cite book | last = Bock | first = Ralf | title = Adolf Loos | publisher = Skira | location = Geneve | year = 2007 | isbn = 978-88-7624-643-2 }}</ref> Loos's body was taken to Vienna's [[Zentralfriedhof]] to rest among the great artists and musicians of the city, including [[Arnold Schoenberg|Schoenberg]], Altenberg and Kraus, some of his closest friends and associates.<ref name="Loos 2011"/> Through his writings and his groundbreaking projects in Vienna, Loos was able to influence other architects and designers, and the early development of Modernism. His careful selection of materials, passion for craftsmanship and use of 'Raumplan'—the considered ordering and size of interior spaces based on function—are still admired.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.architecture.com/LibraryDrawingsAndPhotographs/Exhibitionsandloans/AdolfLoos/Lifeandinfluence/Raumplan.aspx|title=Adolf Loos: Raumplan|access-date=20 June 2012|publisher=Royal Institute of British Architects|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512180402/http://www.architecture.com/LibraryDrawingsAndPhotographs/Exhibitionsandloans/AdolfLoos/Lifeandinfluence/Raumplan.aspx|archive-date=12 May 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
