[week9]House X -Peter Eisenman
Peter Eisenman’s ideas have clearly been developed and realised on the
design of House X, the final part of a series of housing designs that
study and extend further more the concepts of deconstruction by the
architect.
House X has a special complexity, an architectural form that derives from studies of maths, geometry and philosophy on a
combination of planes that create spaces, voids and 3d spaces, highly
related between differentiating grids. An extended version of Eisenman’s
theories that includes concepts from previous designs to a more complex
but at the same time more complete design solution. This is an
attempt to apply Eisenman’s theories of deconstruction onto Typography.
In other words, a representation of Eisenman’s architecture through type
elements that stand on 3d planes, creating volumes and spaces in such a
form, as House X is developed throughout space. The initial step of
experimenting with architectural typography was an attempt to combine
the title of the building (House X) with the actual walls, windows and voids of the structure.

HOUSE VI
House VI,
is a significant building designed by Peter Eisenman, completed in 1975. His second built work, the getaway house, located on Great Hollow Road near Bird's Eye Brook in Cornwall, Connecticut (across from Mohawk Mountain Ski Area) has become famous for both its revolutionary definition of a house as much as for the physical problems of design and difficulty of use. At the time of construction, the architect was known almost exclusively as a theorist and "paper architect," promulgating a highly formalist approach toarchitecture he calls "postfunctionalism." Rather than form following function or an aesthetic design, the design emerged from a conceptual process, and remains pinned to that conceptual framework.
Unfortunately, Eisenman's limited construction experience meant that the entire building was poorly detailed. The tiny building took 3 years to build, went completely over budget, and finally had to be reconstructed in 1987, leaving only the basic structure original. The Franks, in Peter Eisenman's House VI: The Client's Response, claim that they nonetheless love living in such a poetic structure, which they inhabit with their children. Also on the property is a barn for guests and supplies that do not fit in the kitchen.
