The monument is conceived as a concrete sculptural form of the tomb of Adolf Loose, situated in Vienna's Central Cemetery. The architect designed the tombstone himself on a hospital bed in 1931. On a symbolic level, there is a new interpretation of Adolf Loose's own author's design. The main idea of the design is to create a negative (imprint) of the place of Loos's last rest for the locality where he was born, grew up, and which largely shaped him (stonemason's workshop, father's death, negative relationship to his mother). The tombstone and the mold would form a compact monolith - a block. However, this constellation will never happen, as the tombstone is in Vienna and the form is in Brno. However, there is an imaginary connection between the two places. The internal spatial composition enclosed in the block of the monument refers to the principle of the so-called raumplan - together with the precious stone used, they are a direct reference to Loos's architectural and interior work

Concrete imprint, taken 1: 1 of the tomb of Adolf Loose. The monument is illuminated by an onyx plaque in the floor plan of a Viennese tombstone. The memorial is located in the city greenery, where it also functions as non-standard furniture.
