Peter Eisenman- ''Post-Functionalism''




Peter Eisenman discuss that two different exhibition centre ''Architerrura Razional'' and "Ecole des Beaux Arts" applies a different treatment of form and function nevertheless having the same definition of architecture as function and type. Humanism in architecture is always concern with program and theme or in simple way function and form. Eisenman also discuss between a French hotel with a more variation of floor plan while being masked by a well-proportioned facade on the external, while the English house on the other hand has a regular and formal floor plan and defines the external facade. I agree with the opinion program and form were once contrast design consideration. However as the development of industrialization arise, the balance between form and function was disrupted. Architects from the mid twentieth century began to understand design as form follows function. However the issue is not always about the function but some how rather modernist taste. It is believe that the relationship between form and function is based on culture. Modernist sensibility has to do with a change of thinking attitude towards artifact of the physical world.
