Eisenman’s bogus avant-garde

This article talk briefly about Eisnman’s life and how he became successful. It identify some important point such as to be successful as an architect you need not only be a good architect but also a good at architectural theorists, ability to corral a wide range of architect, critics, and historians into the fabrication of the Eisenman; the claim that his designs attempt to record the ambiguities and uncertainties of the era. What distinguishes Eisenman from others architects is his successful seduction of intellectuals, his powerful words. He is one of an architect that exercise the deconstruction theory and master it. Eisenman represent a desire to embrace an avant-garde aesthetic, to stake out the margins of culture in a defiant expression of independence, while simultaneously enjoying all of the benefits of being a very centrist cultural icon. His work may offend visually, aesthetically, or experientially, but it will never offend politically.

Structure vs. chaos, ornament vs. purity, permanence vs. change, reason vs. intuition. These are the different between traditional and deconstructivism architectural. It tends to appear opposite and distance but in fact it complements each other in one way or another. The two styles is a true remarkable achievement in architectural history. In this assignment 3, I will focus on the different between the two type but at the same time harmonize with each other even thought one is modern and the other is traditional. The main animation can be a simple model of a traditional building which transform and change thought time to reach it deconstruction stage. Background music will help the animation be a powerful work of art in its own right. Let the blur between traditional and deconstructivism changes your thinking and thought and explore new way of architecture.
