EISENMAN

Peter Eisenman An architect who designed this unique structure using the term ‘’ Cardboard Architecture” is very different in its way. Cardboard architecture refers to the material cardboard to make models. A material that is used to diagram and for parti studies. It states in the passage, “ Cardboard usually a derogatory term in architectural discussion “( chapter 3)

“No reason or meaning intended in the use of this particular form or strategy” ( Page31 )

Peter Zumthor a talented architect Takes about the atmosphere architecture brings him. Most people think architecture is just the structure and building of houses and building but it is much more. He talks about how architecture moves him. Seeing a building and experiencing the building. I believe that he applies the feeling of architecture with the 5 senses. he relates to the sound of a room, the sight of the building, the touch of the material, and the smell of a room. He doesn't talk about the taste. He states, “ Quality architecture to me is when building manages to move me” (Page 10/11), This the when the build releases an emotional response it is a good building to Zumthor. Zumthoes makes a point by expressing the statement, “Beauty in the eye of the beholder.”(Page 17) This stood out to me because it relates to architecture. Overall it means architecture is very subjective. It could be good or bad for each individual. If architecture didn't move me and I thought it was bud but Zumthor was moved it was a subjective peace. It all determines how the atmosphere moves you. Zumthor makes another point about expressing architecture as a whole. He expresses it by saying architecture is made for use and is not an art of free use. This is ironic because when you compare Eisenman to Zumthor Eieasnman used architecture as a free use to construct a connection and did not care about the use of the construct. Zumthor states “Architecture after all is made for our use, It is not a free art in that sense”(Excerpt I).This explains how the craft should be used for a concept. If there is no use is it architecture? Architecture cannot be a free art he explains in the excerpt.Meaning that it and not be tampered with and played with without consequences like Eaisenmans home.
