Eisenman Inside Out: Selected Writings, 1963–1988

No book is possible without all of those people who toil ceaselessly behind the scenes. This book in particular, written over many years in many different contexts, has more of such people than I can today remember. Therefore I will mention only a few who for the recent past worked to make disparate essays into a presentable context.

Acknowledgments

From the editorial side, Deborah A. Buelow, Kimberly Elman, R. D. Gentzler, Andrew Parsegian. From the architectural side, Judy Geib and Juliette Cezzar must be mentioned.

But this book is not truly mine to acknowledge; rather, it belongs to Mark Rakatansky, who chose the essays and weathered several years of indecision on my part with respect to my own introduction. It is to his perseverance, tenacity, and critical eye that this book owes its existence.

Peter Eisenman has been an innovative presence in the field of architecture and architectural theory for more than thirty years. Architect, educator, founder and director of the Institute for Architecture and Urbanism, he has given definition to the principal debates on the architecture of our past, present, and future. In this remarkable collection, nineteen of his most important essays are presented together for the first time. Generously illustrated and with a new introduction by the author, these writings assemble the ideas that both set and provoked contemporary architectural practice and theory.

This collection ranges from comprehensive theoretical analyses to close readings of Eisenman’s own work and that of such architects as Andrea Palladio, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling, Philip Johnson, and John Hedjuk. Providing new perspectives on these architects and on Eisenman’s own methodologies, these writings present an insider’s appraisal of the polemics that have defined architecture over the past half century and that continue as one of the major ongoing forces in the discourse today.

This eBook is available exclusively on the A&AePortal.
