A celebration of Peter Eisenman's illustrious career as architect, thinker, author, and educator

Known for his architecture, writing, and teaching, Peter Eisenman (b. 1932) has shaped the field of contemporary architecture through innovative design and thinking. His works include single-family residences such as his ""House"" series (1968–75) and cultural structures such as the Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio (1989), and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin (2005). Both his writings and his buildings have integrated architecture with philosophy in a manner that is playful and evocative. This volume brings together a distinguished group of architects and historians, teachers and students, and friends and colleagues to frame and explore Eisenman's many extraordinary contributions to the architectural discourse and to consider his legacy.

Reviews for Notes on Peter Eisenman: The Gradual Vanishing of Architecture

“A layered tribute. . . . What began as a standard academic conference quickly evolved into a spirited flurry of debate that perfectly captured Eisenman’s provocative pedagogical approach, one that embraced contradiction and dialogue. The volume . . . engage[s] with Eisenman’s methods of analysis and urban explorations and his profound influence over the last half-century.”—Pansy Schulman, Architectural Record
