Hartoonian, Gevork
Pap. New York, 2006
Book ID: 71407
Combining thorough critical analysis with a vigorous theoretical position, Hartoonian questions the state of today's architecture. Looking back over the twentieth century, Hartoonian discusses the work of three major architects: Eisenman, Gehry and Tschumi, in reference to their theoretical positions and historicizes present architecture in the context of the ongoing secularization of the myths surrounding the traditions of nineteenth century architecture, in particular, Gottfried Semper's discourse on the tectonic.
