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

of bare reinforced concrete as chief building material

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

and wind, speak.

We shall seek it in all domains of construction.

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.
