Features: This book is a collection of works by Peter Eisenman, a renowned contemporary American architect and architectural theorist. The book features detailed and vivid images, accompanied by certain textual explanations, as well as comments by Eisenman and others on his architectural theories and works, which help readers better understand the master and his architectural theories and creations. One of the most distinctive traits of his works is their integration with a derivative and design-rules-following method in the generation of plans, without relying on the knowledge or experience accumulated from technical or cultural schools of thought. When elaborating on a school without its own traditional historical perspective, or even one that openly acknowledges the involvement of non-humanistic practical matters, I believe this is a very important procedural explanation.
