[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.
