Discovered on 10 January 1988 by A. Mrkos at Klet.
Austrian architect Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was one of the pioneers of the functionalist style in Europe. Influenced by the rationalist architecture of the Chicago School, he rejected the Art Nouveau style. Loos' radical style influenced architects in Germany, Austria and Bohemia.Naming citation (20020624/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
