Deconstructivism Architecture - Peter Eisenman

The chief Decon theorist was Peter Eisenman(b.1932), who described buildings as made of disparate “texts” unable to be resolved into a whole. In the heady days of Deconstructivism’s birth, he called himself a “post-functionalist,” saying “My best work is without purpose—who cares bout the function?” At first he was more into conversation than construction.
