description: Eisenmanual is a user's guide to the architecture and theoretical work of architect, educator, and theorist Peter Eisenman. This compact and multilayered volume is a comprehensive handbook to his texts and projects and their simultaneous and overlapping development since his doctoral thesis, The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture , written in 1963. Literally a printed "hypertext," Eisenmanual weaves a selection of 80 texts and 46 projects, both built and unbuilt, through a series of synoptic and conceptual maps. The many influences on his work are included in a matrix of references that reveals the complexity of the architect's thinking. An index and a dictionary provide additional ways to approach Eisenman’s development of theoretical concepts.
