STYLE
Eisenman has always sought somewhatobscure parallels between his architecturalworks and philosophical or literary theory.
His earlier houses were "generated" from atransformation of forms related to thetenuous relationship of language to anunderlying structure.
Eisenman's latter works show a sympathy withthe ideas of deconstructionism.

He tries to do is to unlink the function that
architecture may represent from the
appearance - form - of that same architectural
object.

Artificial excavation
Find traces of history.
Interpret form and meaning. Derive new forms and meaning by
layering and deforming.

Deconstructionism
Characterized by ideas of fragmentation.
Characterized by a stimulating unpredictability
and a controlled chaos.

House VI
Located in Cornawall,Connecticut.
Eisenman created a form from theintersection of four planes, subsequently
manipulating the structures again and again,until coherent spaces began to emerge.
The envelope and structure of the building are
justa manifestation of the changed elementsof the original four slabs, with some limitedmodifications.

The purely conceptual design meant that the
architecture is strictly plastic, bearing no
relationship to construction techniques or
purely ornamental form.

The use of the red stairs in House VI is
somewhat odd.
It is an upside down stairs, marked red, whichfunctions only as to divide the building and
provide the house with symmetry.

Building Type :University arts center.
Construction System :steel, concrete, glass. Included in the Wexner Center space are a
film and video theater, a performance space, a
film and video post production studio, a
bookstore, caf, and 12,000 square feet (1,100
m) of galleries.

The design includes a large, white metal grid
meant to suggest scaffolding, to give the
building a sense of incompleteness.
The extension of the Columbus street grid
generates a new pedestrian path into the
campus, a ramped east-west axis.
a major part of the project is not a building
itself, but a 'non-building'.

Scaffolding traditionally is the most
impermanent part of a building.
Thus, the primary symbolization of a visual
arts center, which is traditionally that of a
shelter of art, is not figured in this case.
For although this building shelters, it does not
symbolize that function.

Conclusion
The architecture of Eisenman had many
different angles and difficulties when
analyzing it and trying to describe it in general
terms.
forms are no longer a means toward an
end, but an end in themselves
