Summary/Abstract: The report examines the work of the American architect Peter Eisenman (b. 1932), focusing on his critical approach, presented as a process of emancipation from the conventional grounds and relationships, defining the architectural form. The creative searches of Eisenman are represented by some of his landmark architectural projects, and considered also in the context of the critical controversy, which it causes. The development, although dedicated to a theme relating to a particular practice in architecture, sheds light on a wider discourse around the idea of the form and its self-reflection in the plastic arts.
