Biography
Ivo Loos was a Czech architect and photographer. He studied at the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. In the 1960s, he was involved in interior design, and in 1968 he won, along with Jindřich Malátek, a competition for the best realization of a concert hall in Prague's Republic Square, which was not implemented. He also participated in the realization of Palach's tombstone (destroyed by state security after a few months). In the 1970s, as an architect at Stavoprojekt, he contributed to the realization of the brutalist Transgas building and the completion of the buildings of the National Theatre in Prague as an employee of SÚRPMO. In 1989, he collaborated on the realization of the Ski Center in Harrachov. In his youth, he also began to focus on black-and-white photography, but he exhibited very little. He photographed various series of ordinary people in 6×6 cm format. He ended his photographic engagement in 1975.
