Reviews"Eisenman cleanly dissects each project with a diagrammed analysis that leaves little room for arguement." ~Architect Magazine "(Eisenman's) penetrating, sometimes brilliant analysis will prod you to see even the most celebrated of these buildings with fresh eyes. The power of his arguments will challenge some of your most dearly held architectural beliefs." ~The New York Times, "Eisenman cleanly dissects each project with a diagrammed analysis that leaves little room for arguement." ~ Architect Magazine "(Eisenman's) penetrating, sometimes brilliant analysis will prod you to see even the most celebrated of these buildings with fresh eyes.

With drawings, diagrams, and always-incisive text, he presents each architect's theoretical position, and then offers detailed critical analysis of the project.
