Description: ""Peter Eisenman. Barefoot on White-Hot Walls" - published on the occasion of the eponymous personal exhibition at the MAK Vienna - gives profound insight into the work of Peter Eisenman, without doubt one of the most interesting architects of our time." "The main focus is on Eisenman's most recent projects such as the "City of Culture of Galicia" in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and the "Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe" in Berlin, Germany. Likewise, the publication extensively documents, in text and illustrations, spectacular competition entries such as his Naples TAV Railway Station or the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris. Drawings, renderings, and photographs of built projects introduce readers to complex design processes which always also relate to fundamental questions of architecture." "One special feature of the book is the documentation of Eisenman's exhibition installation developed especially for the MAK show and epitomizing his effort to overcome conventional spatial concepts as well as his renunciation of common notions of purpose, orientation, and proportion."--BOOK JACKET.
