Peter Eisenman Biography |
Peter Eisenman (b. Newark, New Jersey 1932) is one of the foremost practitioners of deconstructivism in American architecture. Eisenman's fragmented forms are identified with an eclectic group of architects that have been, at times unwillingly, labelled deconstructivists. Although Eisenmann shuns the label, he has had a history of controversy aimed at keeping him in the public (academic) eye. His theories on architecture pursue the emancipation and autonomy of the discipline and his work represents a continued attempt to liberate form from all meaning, a struggle that most find difficult to understand.
Eisenman designed the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, as well as the convention center in that city. |
