In The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture the internationally acclaimed US-American architect Peter Eisenman world-famous for his Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (2005) confronts historicism with theory and the analysis of form, whose distinguishing features he regards as the foundation of architectural composition. The architect illustrates his observations with numerous, extremely precise hand drawings. Eisenman wrote The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture, his dissertation, in 1963 at the University of Cambridge. The dissertation was first published as a facsimile edition by La The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture - Peter Eisenman od authora Peter Eisenman a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus. cz.
