A monograph collecting the complete range of work by Peter Eisenman, a controversial and visionary protagonist of the contemporary debate on architecture
The book opens with essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Marco Biraghi and Franco Purini, introducing the complex and controversial work of Peter Eisenman both as an architect and a theorist. The core of the volume is the catalogue of his plans exploring his production from the Sixties up to now, from the first detached houses – a sort of theoretic-architectonic declarations, numbered as paintings or abstract sculptures – to the plastic works of the present. Through big sized photographs and drawings, this sequence of architectures documents the different phases of Eisenman’s career during the years, from a deep revision of the radical European avant-gardes to his adhesion to Deconstructivism
