Architect – Peter Eisenman

Peter Eisenman is an American architect. Born in 1932 in Newark, New Jersey. He studied architecture at Cornell, Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture and the University of Cambridge. He received an honorary degree from Syracuse University of Architecture. He is a member of the New York Five part of the New York Five a group of 5 architects who were featured in the 1972 book Five Architects.

Where I said Mario Botta was all about shapes, and Ole Scheeren height, I’d want to say Eisenman is all about angles – not always but more than one normally sees.
