Peter Eisenman (1932- ) one of the New York Five or The Five Whites, together with
Richard Meier, Michael Graves, Charles Gwathmey andJohn Hejduk
became influenced with the Deconstruction philosophy of
Jacques Derrida and is now well-known for his
Deconstructivist architecture
seeks for meaning in architecture not through the use ofhistorical elements but through the manipulation and
transformation of the architectural forms themselves
I am looking for ways of conceptualizing space that will place
the subject in a displaced relationship because they will have noiconographic reference to traditional forms of organization.
That is what I have always been trying to do, to displace
the subject, to oblige the subject to reconceptualize
architecture.

Tadao Ando (1941- )
Japanese minimalist architect
self- taught in architecture
influenced by Le Corbusier
works are characterized by geometrical forms, dramatic
use of natural elements like light and water and the use

I do not believe architecture should speak too much. Itshould remain silent and let nature, in the guise of light
and wind, speak.

Living architecture is that which faithfully expresses its time.
We shall seek it in all domains of construction.
- AUGUST PERRET (1923)
Economic, technical and cultural conditions have changed radically.
- MIES van der ROHE (1928)
For the first time perhaps, the pressing problems of architecture,
were solved in a modern spirit. Economy, sociology, aesthetics:
a new solution using new methods.
