Formal Basis of Modern Architecture (Eisenman Peter)(Pevná vazba)

First published in 2006 (and now rare), and originally written as a dissertation in 1963, The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture is the acclaimed American architect Peter Eisenman's masterly formal analysis of architecture. "I wanted to write an analytic work that related what I had learned to see, from Palladio to Terragni, from Raphael to Guido Reni, into some theoretical construct that would bear on modern architecture, but from the point of view of a certain autonomy of form."Here, Eisenman--world famous for his Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (2005)--confronts historicism with theory and the analysis of form, illustrating his observations with numerous precisely executed drawings. The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture was Eisenman's dissertation at the University of Cambridge, and was first published as a facsimile edition by Lars M ller Publishers in 2006;
