Peter
Eisenman
Peter Eisenman, born in 1932, is a renowned American architect, theorist, and educator celebrated for his deconstructivist and intellectually driven approach to design. As a founding member of the "New York Five," he challenged traditional architectural norms, emphasizing abstraction, geometry, and conceptual depth over conventional functionality. His notable projects, such as House VI, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial, embody his commitment to architectural experimentation and theoretical discourse. Beyond his built works, Eisenman has profoundly influenced contemporary architecture through teaching, writing, and debates, positioning himself as a pivotal thinker in shaping modern architectural thought and practice.
