Description
Lateness: A provocative case for historical ambiguity in architecture. This book proposes a different perspective on form and time in architecture, one that circumvents temporal constraints on style. Peter Eisenman explores how certain architects worked against linear currents in their designs, creating a concept of "lateness" that can serve as a release from stylistic limitations. Eisenman examines the work of three twentieth-century architects - Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk - who exhibited qualities of lateness in their designs. Drawing on critical theory and illuminating examples from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, Eisenman demonstrates how today's architecture can use the concept of lateness to break free of stylistic limitations and expand its critical capacity. By bringing together architecture, music, and philosophy, Lateness offers a new mode of analysis for understanding the possibilities of architectural design.
