Dobrando a arquitetura contemporânea: um estudo sobre a obra de Peter Eisenman e o uso do conceito de dobra

Abstract

In avant-garde architecture, the construction of the new imperative is a radical and often is based on the destruction of the former. Since recent experiments used in contemporary architectural concepts such as fragmentation, chaos and disorder that, even within an apparent order, remain the central themes of which produce a sharp break in our habitual ways of perceiving the shape and space. In the experimentalism of Peter Eisenman, an architecture appears free of external values, talking with his independent, abstract construction and "atopic" with the idea of architecture as "writing" as opposed to architecture as "image". When viewing the works of the architect, finds that the intention is to affirm the existence of a textual place, which formerly, and projects for other architects, would be recognizable signs. From this, the research seeks to identify the problem of innovation through the use of philosophical concepts about design converted into strategies for contemporary architectural design, which influence the production of Peter Eisenman. The philosophical concept of doubles (developed by Gilles Deleuze) is one such key concepts about design recurring operations because it describes the work of the architect. The design of the City of Culture in Santiago de Compostela is considered an exemplary work, analysis of which shows the implementation of the fold for the philosophical projectual architectural field. In conclusion, there is a reflection from the case study, considering the fold in the evocation of Peter Eisenman about design processes, combined with other instruments, which characterize the architectural designs of the architect.
