2 The Simple, the Elegant and the Obscured
What will be suggested in this paper is that Eisenman’s theoretical writings are rather
less than Eisenman would have us believe but that the actual objects themselves are
rather more than Eisenman is willing to let on. First, his writing is not analytical but
rather normative in nature. It follows a well-founded architectural tradition of
presenting normative theories which, while perhaps useful in discussing a particular
design or style, can not be objectively applied to discuss other types of architecture.
It is because of this that his writings serve to perpetuate the myth of the ‘architectural
genius’, in this case Eisenman. Eisenman would have us believe that his writings are
analytical rather than normative in nature, but this is manifestly not the case.
