Peter Eisenman

Peter Eisenman is an Architect whose designs are quite difficult to grasp. His Architectural Style has changed over the past many years and continues to change. His early designs, that are part of his house projects, contain constructive uses of shapes such as cubes to shape his designs. Whilst later on in his career he makes more use of curves and fluid designs.

He has been labelled as part of a group of Architects known as the Deconstructivists.
