This book examines the central decades of Peter Eisenman's work
through a formal and thematic analysis of key architectural
projects and writings, revealing underlying characteristics and
arguing for their productive continuity and transformative role.
The book explores Eisenman's approach to architectural form
generation and thinking. It does this through a thematic and formal
analysis of projects and writings from the mid-1970s to the
mid-1990s. Following an introductory chapter addressing the theme
of potentialities, the book is organised in two parts. The first
part focuses on key period writings of Eisenman, framing the close
reading around a practice of resistance, the architect's approach
to history as analysis, and the transformative conceptualisation of
time. In the second part, the book undertakes an analysis of select
projects from the 1980s and 1990s. Three formal preoccupations and
conceptual orientations - ground manipulations, figuration, and
spatial events - organise this part of the book. Previously
unpublished material from the Peter Eisenman fonds, Canadian Centre
for Architecture, Montreal, provides primary source material. A
concluding chapter addresses Eisenman's teaching, its relation to
his larger project, and possible legacies for educators,
practitioners, scholars, and theorists.
