Architects And Designers Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Josef Hoffmann — Hoffmann's graduation project won the Rome Prize (Staatsreisestipendium), not the Prix de Rome, which is a French term.

Josef Hoffmann — Hoffmann did not design the foyer and office of the Secession Building; the building was designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich.

Jože Plečnik — The entry states Plečnik was born in 'Laibach, present-day Ljubljana', which misleadingly implies Laibach is a separate place that became Ljubljana; it should say 'Ljubljana' or 'Laibach (present-day Ljubljana)'.

Jože Plečnik — The entry says he 'found his first mentor, Léopold Theyer' at a technical school in Graz, but Theyer is not typically cited as his first mentor in standard biographies; Otto Wagner is more commonly considered his primary mentor.

Lúcio Costa — Costa never became director of SPHAN (later IPHAN); he remained a technical staff member. The director was Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade until 1967, and his granddaughter Maria Elisa Costa later became a director, but not as a direct succession from Lúcio Cos

Lina Bo Bardi — The entry states Lina Bo Bardi graduated from Sapienza University of Rome's Faculty of Architecture in 1939, but she actually graduated in 1940.
